Introduction
About this Manuscript
This text describes the Gaṇādhyakṣa-Bhālacandra Pūjā and the stories of King Hariścandra, Ṛṣiśarman, and Kulāla, highlighting their connection to the ritual. The narrative style of the text appears to resemble that of the Purāṇas; however, the manuscript is incomplete, and the colophon is missing, making the source of the text unknown. The Colenda Digital Repository catalog suggests that the text may possibly belong to the Gaṇeśa-purāṇa. This Ms. is written in 6 lines per folio. Cover and back page are blank. 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.
