228. No. 130
1883-84. Size.- 8 in. by 41°d in.
1. Extent.-15 leaves; I lines to a page; 25 letters to a line. Description.- Country paper; Śārada characters ; hand-writing
legible ; paper old, worn out and musty.
The codex contains:-(1) Gurupatala, foll. 1-2; (2) Gurukavaca, foll, 1-4; and (3) Gurusahasranaman, foll, 1-9. All these have different pagination. Although the work is called Pañcanga, yet we have here only 3 constituents. Rāj. Mitra's Notices, I, 410 and X, 4077 are only Gurusahasranaman. Our work forms part of Sammohanatantra (See Mitra's Notices I, 371 ; and Hpr. Notices. I, 400%; both incomplete), reckoned to be an original Tantra and not a compilation, deals with the worship of goddess Kulakundalini.
