Notes

• This text is perhaps a section from the much larger Mantramañjūṣā of Trivikrama Bhaṭṭāraka (see Gopinath Kaviraj, Tāntrika Sāhitya [Varanasi: Hindi Samiti, 1972], p. 468). Title from colophon, which is incomplete, perhaps indicating that the manuscript is itself incomplete. Title abbreviations in upper left of ff. 1-3 read "Dī. Na.," suggesting (based upon the subject matter) a title beginning "Dīkṣā-Na..." Title abbreviations on ff. 4-8 read "Maṁ," suggesting a title beginning "Mantra..."
   
• Written 9-10 lines per leaf.
