This is very similar to, if not identical with, the Smaradipikā of Minanātha. Another MS. of the work is described in VSP, p. xliv, 268. Beginning :
नत्वा साम् शिवं देवं देवौं चैव मनोरमाम् ।
रचिता कामदेवेन सुबोधा रतिमञ्जरी ॥ Colophon (Fol. 17A):
इति कामदेवविरचिता रतिमञ्जरी। The colophon is followed by a number of verses which deal with the nature of the progeny resulting from conception on any of the sixteen days following menstruation.
Post-colophon Statement (on the fourth page of the cover):
४ . २ ८१ मुगलोचनच्ययमहीयशकाब्दे
कार्तिक्यमासे खलु कृयापक्षे । शक्तौतिथौ वारभ्भगौ व्यलेख
रघुनाथमालवद्दिजजो रमे तत् ॥ १ ॥
