About this Manuscript

The text is actually a commentry on the tenth Skandha (Book X) of the Bhāgavata Purāṇa, specifically in Chapter 87 by Kāśīnātha Upādhyāya. The Vedastuti is a famous stotra (hymn) that appears within the Bhāgavata Purāṇa. It discusses the difficulty of understanding the absolute through words, the nature of the jīva (individual soul), the relationship between karma (action), jñāna (knowledge), bhakti (devotion), and the ultimate goal of a spiritual life. Mistakes are covered with yellow, but still very visible. Orange powder rubbed over invocation and many lines. A few marginal corrections and lengthy additions. Paper is very brownish. Written in 9 lines per leaf.
