Devapūjānirṇaya

A Hindu ritual text describes daily rituals and specifies which deity should be praised at different times of the day. For example, it mentions that in the morning the devotee should perform pūjā to Keśava, and in the evening conduct Śivaliṅga pūjā. In this context, the text quotes Śaunaka and the Bṛhajjāvālopaniṣad. It also describes the Śivaprasādamāhātmya (f.2b). The text discusses liṅgapūjā in detail in the Gurudhyāya (f.4a), where Dakṣiṇāmūrtti is identified as the guru (teacher). Additionally, the text contains a section titled Devīpūjāphala (4b–5a). It cites several sources, including the Skandapurāṇa, Harivaṃśa, Sūtasaṃhitā, Matsyapurāṇa, Hemādrī, Bhaviṣyapurāṇa, and Bṛhattantrarāja. In the colophon, Rāma Bhaṭṭa Mandūḍa is mentioned as the father of the author Kāśīnātha, and Vārāṇasī is identified as his birthplace.
