Description

On the basis of the extant text, the manuscript may be provisionally identified as a divinatory manual concerned with the examination of yogas and prognostic conditions through letter-based classifications and predictive schemes. The references to Ṣoḍaśa-yoga-parīkṣā and Ṣoḍaśa-daśāyāka-parīkṣā indicate a structured system for determining auspicious and inauspicious results. The language and colophon-like notes further suggest a Nepalese Buddhist Newar context. Accordingly, the work is best classified under Divination and Prognostic Literature, closely related to the broader traditions of Praśna, Śakuna, and predictive Jyotiṣa. The concluding portion records a date (Saṃvat 908) 1787 C.E.
