Miscellaneous Notes
This text speaks about the rites etc., undertaken in connection with the act of binding the idols to the pīṭha using a special mortar got by mixing with 8 things like plantain (fruit). Aagamas such as the niśvāsakārikā and śaivottara are quoted. But the source of this is yet to be identified. This text breaks off after the reference to caturbandha
