Introduction
About this Manuscript
The manuscript is most likely a Vaiṣṇava devotional narrative describing the rescue of Gajendra by Lord Viṣṇu (Nārāyaṇa). Its central theme is the efficacy of devotion and complete surrender to the deity, exemplified through the celebrated story of Gajendra Mokṣa, a popular episode in Purāṇic literature. The Buddhist opening invocation suggests a Nepalese manuscript context rather than a specifically Buddhist subject matter. The text begins on folio 1 and concludes on folio 6, indicating that this is a short and self-contained narrative devoted to the Gajendra episode.
