226 No. 405 Size. — 10 in. by 5} in. Extent.- 49 leaves ; 12 lines to a page ; 30 letters to a line. Description.- Country paper; Devanāgari characters; handwriting
bad, but legible ; two rows of one line and two or three lines in red ink on each border ; benedictory phrase in red ink ; paper old, worn out and musty. The last folio has figures indicating the number of mantras to be repeated for every graha.
The work is in the form of a dialogue between Nārada and Brahma. It deals with the rituals connected with the worship and homa of nine grahas. The name of the work is wrongly spelt as Gịha'. Aufrecht notes only our ms. in his Cat. Cat. i, 1738.
