About this Manuscript

This is a composite manuscript containing three Upaniṣadic texts: Atharvaśīrṣa (f. 1b–9a), Brahmopaniṣad (f. 9a–10b), and Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad (f. 11a–22b). However, the Brahmopaniṣad text in the manuscript matches only the last two verses of the printed edition. These three texts explore the theme of self-realisation with a profound understanding of philosophy and spirituality. This Ms. is written in 8–10 lines per folio. There are double red vertical margins on each side of the folio. Mistakes are covered with yellow or blacked out. Some corrections and additions in the margins. Significant syllables and words rubbed with orange powder for highlighting.
