About this Manuscript

This text describes Cāturmāsya, the four-monthly rituals performed during the months of Phālguna, Āṣāḍha, and Kārttika. These rituals are conducted in four parvas: Vaiśvadeva Parva, Varuṇapraghāsa Parva, Sākamedha Parva, and Śunāsīrīya Parva. The manuscript states that the text is based on the Prayoga section of the Āśvalāyana and Baudhāyana Śrautasūtra, but it shows a stronger influence from the Baudhāyana Śrautasūtra, which is evident throughout. The Baudhāyana Śrautasūtra itself is based on the Kṛṣṇa-Yajurveda. The owner of the text is not mentioned, but his father's name is given as Vyaṅkaṭeśaśarmaṇa. (Written in 7–9 lines per leaf.; 75 leaves foliated 1–74, [i], upper left and lower right verso. Mistakes covered over in yellow or blacked out; some corrections and additions in margins; significant syllables, words, or phrases highlighted in red throughout. Accents in red throughout.)
