Introduction
About this Manuscript
This is a Vedic sacrificial ritual manual that discusses the customs performed during the Darśapaurṇamāsa sacrifice (new moon and full moon rites). The text mentions Śāṅkhāyana, Gopāla, and Vidyāraṇya, and explicitly refers to the Baudhāyana-Kalpasūtra, from which it describes the Prakṛti-iṣṭi according to the Baudhāyana-Kalpasūtra. The work was composed by Anantadeva, son of Āpadeva II, grandson of Anantadeva I, and great-grandson of Ekanātha (NCC, Vol. 1, p. 165). This text is the same as Item 1311. (Written in 11–14 lines per leaf.; 29 leaves foliated 1–29, upper left and lower right verso. Mistakes blacked out; some corrections and additions in margins; significant syllables, words, or phrases highlighted in red throughout; vertical margins marked with double red line; some folios treated with yellow turmeric powder to protect the manuscript from insects.)
