Composite Manuscript (Jātakarman; Rudrākṣalakṣaṇa)

It seems that this manuscript contains two different works. The first work describes Jātakarman: Nābhicchedana (f.13a) and Nāmakaraṇa (f.13b), with a Newari commentary. It is notable that the first folio of the manuscript mentions Dharmasaṃgrahabhāṣāmūla as the title. It also seems that this text is a continuation of a larger work, as the left-hand folio numbering starts from 42 and ends at 69, while the right side has numbers from 1 to 18. The same pattern is seen with the second text: the left-side numbering starts from 37 and ends at 41, while the right side has numbers from 26 to 30. This suggests that the second work may also be part of a different manuscript. On the margins of the folia containing the second work, it is written Jāpamālā, which may indicate the original title of the text. Throughout the first work, the right side of the folios mentions the subject matters it discusses, such as: Prabhāsvarātpatti, Bhuvanotpatti, Saṃkhyā, Jambudvīpa, Videhadvīpa, Kuludvīpa, Sumeru, and many others. Matsunami stated that "An encyclopaedical work on world, birth of men and its vidhis. Sanskrit text and vernacular commentary. Fragment. 18 leaves." (Matsunami, 1965, p. 58).
