Miscellaneous Notes
The sāṅkhyāyanatantra in 36 chapters deals, as is indicated in its subtitle (ṣaḍvidyāgama), with the six acts (stambhana, mohana, ākarṣaṇa, visveṣaṇa, uccāṭana and māraṇa). Bagalā a fierceful goddess, is said to use them to paralyse even Brahmāstra and prevent the activities undertaken by those who are opposed to her. The Ms. under notice contains chapters 1-6, 10-16 and 33. The first chapter is wanting in 16 and a half śloka-s at the beginning. Ch. 10 is wanting in 4 and a half ślokas at the beginning. Fols. 64-68 contain ch.33 according to the colophon on fol. 68b but the fol. is asking for pardon for the mistakes in writing
