Miscellaneous Notes

This text contains verse in praise of the shrines of śiva, the forms of śiva, sivaśakti, śivarūpa etc. At the end sage praṇava is stated to have given a discourse on these topics to viṣṇu. Bṛhaṣpati, who is listened to this, conveyed it to Indra. Sage hārīta is stated to have given an exposition of these topics following the expressions in the candrajñāna āgama. The verse are not numbered in proper order, as in fol. 90a, 92a and 97a. IFI.T. 12 and T. 185 do not contain the treatment of this topic
