Miscellaneous Notes
This transcript is copied from a MS belonging to P.C. Narayana Bhattattiri. This text contains 1 - 24 paṭala-s. It takes the form of kārikās describing the means of worshipping various gods, beginning with "Siva. The final verses reveal that the work was written for bālas by a certain nārāyaṇa. As the conclusion also implies, many of the rituals are obviously inspired by āgamic sources
