About this Manuscript

This text describes the rituals that need to be followed by a man who has gone to a foreign country and spent over 12 years there. Upon his return, he performs the ritual with his family to dispel any confusion or mistrust and to bring prosperity to his children and grandchildren. These rituals, performed at the temple of Śiva, include mantras for Śiva, Gaṇeśa, Viṣṇu, Lakṣmī, and Aghora. The text appears to be a commentary on the Dvādaśavarṣādūrdhvamvalokanavidhi section of the Śāntisāra by Dinakara Bhaṭṭa. Although the colophon of the manuscript mentions: "iti śrīsūryāruṇasaṃvāde karmavipāke saṃgrahe vahnipurāṇoktaṃ vaināyakagrahapīḍāharaṃ dvādaśābdaviyogagrahavidhānaṃ", the beginning and end of this text are similar to the Dvādaśavarṣādūrdhvamvalokanavidhi of the Śāntisāra. (ref. https://samhita.iicdelhi.in/page/93) (Written in 9 lines per leaf.; 4 leaves foliated 1–4, upper left and lower right verso. Mistakes blacked out; some corrections and additions in margins.)
