About this Manuscript

This is a composite manuscript containing short works on astrology. The works it contains are: Cakravyūhāṣṭadhākoṭavikāra (f. 1b-8a), Kaśīśvarīmahāgamapraśnaśāstra (f. 9a-12b); this work has three sections. Viṃśottarīdaśā (13a-14a): It seems that this work explains māsadaśā, muddaśā, and nityadaśā. Folio 13b mentions the name of a scribe, Nandarāma, after the completion of the muddaśā part. From folio 14a, the Ramalaśāstra or Ramalavaicitrya by Rāma Daivajña begins. He was the son of Kṛṣṇa, grandson of Rāma, and great-grandson of Rāmarudra of the Bhāradvāja gotra. It is a commentary on Yavanācārya's Ramalaśāstra (NCC, Vol. 23, p. 82). After the completion of the previous text, the second part of the manuscript begins with new pagination starting from folio 1, and the first work is Rāma Daivajña's Ramalaśāstra or Ramalavaicitrya. After the text, three folios contain astrological charts with numbers. The next work is Dinaniyama (13b-14b). The last work is Ramalapraśnavicāra (14b-34b). From its title, it seems that it could be Bhaṭṭotpala's work on Ramalaśāstra or Ramalajyotiṣa.
