Size.-78 in. by 5 in.
Extent. 71 leaves; 18 lines to a page; 14 letters to a line. Description. Country paper; Šarada characters; hand-writing legible; paper is very old, musty, worn out and mutilated; the top and bottom corners of the folios are damaged; they have been subsequently repaired with patches; from fol. 26 onwards, the page-numbers are gone and have been supplied by the repairer; but even these new pagination-numbers stop on fol. 42. I have numbered the subsequent leaves.
The work is wrongly named as Śripaddha. Pañcamistavaraja which ends on fol. 59: :
It is
Tя, etc. same as in No. 244. But after this follow the sodasopacarapuja and a hymn in praise of Tripuraşundari; then follow other yantras, etc. of the goddess till fol. 66. After this some folios seem to have been lost and we find ourselves in the midst of some work (incomplete and unidentified) dealing with worship of Krsna on the janmastami day.
