A short treatise about tonsure to be performed after the 16th year, before samāvartana-saṁskāra. It seems to be a part of some commentary (most probably Nārāyaṇabhatta's vivarana) on the Mādhavācārya's Kālanirnaya, because the benedictory verse-वागीशाद्या सुमनसः, etc., is
found in the beginning of Madhavācārya's works. Age.-Appears to be modern.' Author.- Anonymous. Begins.- fol. 1o.
श्रीगणेशाय नमः॥ वागीशायाः सुमनसः सर्वार्थानामुपक्रमे। यात्वा कृतकृस्यास्युस्तनमामि गजाननं ॥१॥ अथ केशांतसंस्कारस्य कालनिर्णयः कथ्यते ॥
तन्त्र पारस्कराचार्यसूत्रं । षोडवर्षस्य केशान्त ।। etc. Ends.-fol. 34.
एतत्समावर्तनं पूर्वोक्तमहानाम्न्यादिव्रतचतुष्टयस्य लोपपक्षेतानि प्रायश्चित्तपूर्वकं तत्रैव दिवसे कृत्वा कर्तव्यं । अधिकारिणा कर्तव्यस्थात् वचनाच ॥ इति प्रयोगपारिजाते ॥ इति केशांतसंस्कारकालनिर्णयः॥ श्रीगणेशार्पणमस्तु ।
