Description
The manuscript contains the Hanumatkavacastotra taken from the Brahmāṇḍapurāṇa. As per belief the text is recited by devotees to protect them from negative influences and enemies the same way a kavaca (armor) protects the physical body like an amulet. Title is taken from the colophon (f. 7b); alternate title Hanumanmālāmantra from incipit (f.1b). It is written in 6 lines per leaf. 7 leaves are foliated [1–6], 7, lower right verso. The number 8 was written later and is not fully clear. Mistakes are blacked out. Some corrections and additions in the margins. Opening folio (f. 1) is glued to a white paper backing. May have been housed at an earlier time with Item 461, Item 462, and Item 463 according to the penn cataloguer. Scribe is mentioned as Haridāsavaiṣṇava.
