About this Manuscript

This is a stotra text written in 14 verses, praising Lord Śiva. The purpose of chanting this stotra is to seek forgiveness for sins and transgressions (aparādha). The text is attributed to Śaṅkarācārya as its composer. This manuscript contains a commentary titled 'Aparādhasundarastotraṭīkā' (a title taken from the marginal abbreviation), though the incipit refers to the commentary as 'Sundarasyāparādhasyaṭīkā' , and the colophon mentions it as 'Aparādhasundaravyākhyā'. It is similar to Item 2473, though it lacks two verses. This Ms. is written in 6–14 lines per folio.
