Summary

Canonical Hindu text deals with symbolic interpretation of the Vedic sacrifice and functions as an ancient commentary on Vedic hymns and as a ritual manual.

Notes

• Title from colophon (f. 65v); alternate title Āraṇya from note on final folio (f. 65v).
   
• Written in 8-10 lines per leaf.
   
• 65 leaves foliated 1-65, upper left and lower right verso.
   
• Dated saṃvat 1730 (1673) (f. 65v), but in a second scribal hand by a former owner, so the manuscript is likely older than this date.
   
• Mistakes covered over in yellow or blacked out; some corrections and additions in margins; some significant syllables, words, or phrases highlighted in red throughout; vertical margins marked with double black line.
