The present manuscript contains only the third chapter of the work in four chapters as published by the Chhātra-pustakālaya of Calcutta. Colophon :
इति श्रीरुद्रयामले तन्ने हरगौरौसंवादे रुद्रचण्डौ समाप्ता(म्)।
5873. 10689. Rudracandī from the Rudrayāmala. Substance, country-made yellor paper. 151x41 inches. Folia, 3. Lines, 8, 9 on a page. Extent in slokas, 102. Character, Bengali. Appearance, fresh. Complete.
Same as above though there is slight difference in names, this being called रुद्रचण्डीस्तोत्र.
The present MS, however, begins with what is called the Sankalpa for a regular reading of the work. It then proceeds to lay down the process of the worship of the Devi. The beginning runs thus :--
श्रीजगदीश्वराय नमः॥ अथ रुद्रचण्डीपूजा। अद्येत्यादि अमुकगोत्रस्य श्रीव्यमुकदेवशमणः............चण्डिका हृदये न्यस्य इत्यादि मृत्यमाप सुदुर्लभमित्यन्त( मृत्युन्तं) सकृदुद्रचण्डीपाठकहिं करिष्यामि ॥
