Miscellaneous Notes
Copied from a MS belonging to Sri Kanakasabhesa Dikshitar, son of Richu Dikshitar, Teppakulam st, Tirunelveli. There are two extra pages at the beginning, which record a note (in English written by the scribe) and the contents of the text. The note reads: śwayambhuva This transcript of swayambhuva-āgama belongs to Sri Kananakasabhesa Dikshitar son of Richu Diskshitar, Teppakulam st, Tirunelveli. There are more than 200 palm-leaves in the manuscript. The first 117 leaves contain the svayambhuva. The rest of the leaves contains sundry topics like Sivajnana. Dipika. Tantra-avatara and archanapaṭalas from Mukuta, etc. The palm leaves measures 38cm by 3.5cm. There are five to 9 lines par page, the writing itself being done by three persons. This Swayambhuva agama is written as told to Midhaneswara (yama) by siva. There are 47 paṭalas in all. The slokas number 22/3. There are two interpollations from other works. Paṭala-s 14 and 45 depicting saṃkocavidhi and yānādhikāra are from chintya and mayamatha respectively. Paṭala 46, dealing with rathayāna closes with the words (svāyaṃbhuve gautamarathasaṃhitāyāṃ yānādhikārādhyāyaḥ) The conclusion of paṭalas is varying then and there. Some paṭalas end as merely svāyaṃbhuve, while some uttarasvāyaṃbhuve and some others svāyaṃbhuve sūtrasaṃgrahe. The matter treated in this manuscript is different from that of kilnelur manuscript. The paṭalas are not numbered in the pḹ 'script. It may be taken that the paṭalas are a collection of extracts from so called works bearing the main name of Swayambhuva. Like other agama manuscripts this palm leaf manuscript also does not the escape the flows, difficiencies, gramatical irregularities, not to speak of writers' mistakes, which are too mumerous to mention. In spite of the above drawbacks, the work is a good one and the māsapūjāvidhi treated in this work is concise and unambiguous. P.Neelakanta Sarma, 27/12/1958 "
