Composite Manuscript (Jātakālaṅkāra; Kakṣapuṭa )

This is a composite manuscript that contains two different texts. The first text is Jātakālaṅkāra, a Jyotiṣa text, and a commentary on Śukajātaka by Gaṇeśa Daivajña, son of Gopāla. It contains seven chapters (adhyāya), and in the last chapter, the author provides a detailed description of his parentage. Although this manuscript contains all seven chapters, the last śloka of the text is incomplete (f.15b). The second text is Kakṣapuṭa, a Buddhist Tantric text also known as "Kacchapuṭa, Kakṣyāpuṭa, Kakṣapuṭa sarvasaṅgraha, Siddhacāmuṇḍā, Siddhanāgārjunatantra, or Siddhanāgārjunīya, Śiva-Pārvatī-saṁvāda—a miscellaneous treatise on tantra, mantra, alchemy, and magic ascribed to Siddha Nāgārjuna" (NCC, Vol. III, p. 110).
