Description

The manuscript is Kaivalya upaniṣad. The text expresses Shaivism in vedanta. Aśvalayana ask to brahma about realizaton of the self and non dual idendity. The Kaivalya Upanishad describes the final stage of complete realization, where one attains the ultimate knowledge that dissolves all duality, allowing the realized being to emerge as the one the absolute, beyond all distinctions. Title is taken from colophon (f. 2b). The manuscript is written in 11–12 lines per leaf. 2 leaves are foliated 1–2, upper left and lower right verso. Mistakes are covered with yellow or crossed out, some additions written in margins; right vertical margin marked with double red line; metrical accents added with red ink through part of manuscript (f. 1a).
