About this Manuscript

Folia 1a–1b contain an incomplete text that discusses Garbhadhāraṇā (conception) based on the positions of the Nakṣatras (lunar mansions). (f. 2a–2b) present another incomplete text that explains the motions of the Nakṣatras. This section includes a table correlating specific Nakṣatras with days, likely intended for calendrical or astronomical calculations. ( f. 3a–3b) contain a portion of the Lomeśa Saṃhitā, a text associated with Jyotiṣa. While the manuscript folios themselves are preserved, the content of the text is incomplete. (F. 4a–4b) comprise the Kālajñāna, another work within the Jyotiṣa tradition. In this case, both the manuscript are complete. The manuscript contains different handwritings.
