Introduction
About this Manuscript
Verses 169–199 comprise a Śaniścaratantra embedded within the Skandapurāṇa, attributed to Daśaratha. The colophon on fol. 5b concludes with iti skandapurāṇe daśarathakṛtaṃ śaniścaratantraṃ samāptam, followed unexpectedly by the standard Buddhist verse ye dharmā hetu-prabhavā.... The insertion of this Buddhist stanza at the end of a Hindu Purāṇic text likely reflects the fluid manuscript practices of a shared religious environment.
