About this Manuscript

This is a short text containing mantras in praise of Lord Nārāyaṇa. It claims to be an Upaniṣad and a part of the Atharvaṇaśikhā. The text is associated with Vaiṣṇava philosophy. Here, Lord Nārāyaṇa is described as the universal principle—a concept similar to that of Brahman in the Upaniṣads. This Ms. is written in 9 lines per folio. Title present in colophon (f. 2b). Alternate title Nārāyaṇopaniṣad present in marginal abbreviation. Mistakes are blacked out. Some corrections and additions in the margins.
