About this Manuscript

The manuscript Durjanamukhacapeṭikā, also known as Bhāgavatavyavasthā, was composed by Kāśīnātha Bhaṭṭa Bhaḍa. This work is a debate text concerning the Devī Purāṇa and the Bhāgavata Purāṇa. It argues that the Devī Purāṇa should be regarded as one of the eighteen Mahāpurāṇas. Durjanamukhacapeṭikā or hāgavatavyavasthā, attempts to show that the Devībhāgavata is the true Bhāgavata Purāṇa.(3b–4a).The folio 3b-4a has a different handwring. Mistakes are covered over with yellow. Orange powder rubbed in over invocation, numbers, many lines and double daṇḍas. The manuscript is written in 8–9 lines per leaf.
