The treatise deals with the worship of goddess Lalita, another form of Durgā. From the last colophon of this codex, it appears that the work must have been a big one, as we have here the 17th chapter of it. Bühler (A Cata- · logue of Sanskrit Mss. from Gujarat, etc. fascicle IV) notes a Ms. of this work (p. 268, no. 93) which has 84 leaves. The author, according to Aufrecht (Catalogus Catalogorum, i, 687), was the guru of Vidyanandanatha and wrote also another Tantra work called Laghucandrika. paddhati. For a full description of the present work, see B. B. R. A. S. Cat. No. 870.
