1886-92. Size.- 104 in. by 6 in.. Extent.—192 leaves ; 17 lines to a page ; 22 letters to a line. Description.-Country paper; Śārada characters ; hand-writing
legible; written in book form; marks of punctuation in red ink; paper is very old, worn out and musty. The left hand bottom corner of the last leaf is torn.
The Ms. is wrongly named as Lalitasvacchanda. Its real name is Kaladikş, and its author is Manodadatta. Its text is identical with the other Mss. of Kaladıkşa. The text ends on fol. 1719 after which the rest of the Ms. contains the following topics.
Kşamašlokaḥ, śivastutiḥ, Navagrahašlokaḥ, Kşama mantrah, Bhairavastotram, Mantroddhara, Rahasyasamskaraḥ, Rahasyacaraca and Sambharapatrik.
It seems that our text is the basic one which was subsequently enlarged by Sivasvämin.
