About this Manuscript

The text is divided into two parts. The first part, written on modern paper, describes various Buddhist goddesses and their associated Bīja Mantras. Including; Śrī Nairātmadevī; Ārya Aparājitā; Vahvalādevī; Jaya Vāgīśvarī; Sivarupā; Mahābhairavadevī; Guhyeśvarīdevī, Folio 4 (f.4) focuses on Vajrasattva, and folio 5 (f.5) contains the Vajrasattva Dāna Pūjā Vidhi. From (f.11) and (f.12), the text describes the Namaskāra (reverence) to the 27 Nakṣatras (lunar mansions), the 12 zodiac signs (Rāśi), and the 10 Diśā (directions) and 9 planets. From (f.15), the manuscript pages and subject is changed. This section describes the deity Vajrasattva and includes an Athaphalaprāśana and Annaprāśanamāhā (likely Annaprāśana Mahatmya). The starting page features a Māṅgalika (auspicious) picture with letters written upside down. At the end of the deities' Pūjā Vidhi, the scribe has illustrated some flowers. The manuscript has not any page or folio number, it is damaged in some places, but the letters remain readable.
