This text fixes the time called pradoṣa and treats the importance attached to the worship of śiva during that time. The word sūkṣme is written on fol. 10a in the margin. The opening line is addressed to prabhañjana who is the listener to the discourse given in the sūkṣmāgama. There is slight agreement between this text and T.536 at the beginning portion of p.242. There is a general and partial agreement between this text and T.536, pp.254-258 and 3030306; T.37 (pp.76-79) and T.751(pp.55-57) are sūkṣmāgama Mss. which do not have much in common with this text. Again the colophon on fol.13b mentions the source for the treatment of this topic as sārasaṅgraharatnāvalīdīpikā, the identy of which is not known. The colophon gives the title as saṃgrahasāraratnākara

Manuscript Beginning

pradoṣayajanaṃ vakṣye śṛṇudhvaṃ tat prabhañjana। āyurārogyamaiśvaryaṃ sarvayajñaphalapradam॥ sarvapāpaharaṃ puṇyaṃ sarvaśatruvināśanam। trayodaśidine sāyaṃ kṣīrābdhimathano(d)bhavam॥ kabalīkṛtavān rudraḥ kālāgni sadṛ'saṃ viṣam। devānāñ ca hitārthāya vṛṣāruḍhaś ca satvaram॥ tasmāt kālomayāpītaṃ garaLaṃ lokarakṣayā। karoti ma(ya)stu ya(ma)tpūjāṃ sarvapāpaiḥ pramucyate॥

Manuscript Ending

tathā snehena kathitaṃ nidhaneśa mahāmate। śivārcanajapadhyānaṃ stotragītaṃ pradakṣiṇam॥ kīrtanañ ca namaskāraṃ pradoṣe'ṣṭau samācaret। pradoṣe śaṃkaraṃ dṛṣṭvā 'sivaloke mahīyate। tasmāt sarvaprayatnena pradoṣe śivam arcayet॥ iti saṃgrahasāraratnāvalīdīpikāyāṃ pradoṣavidhipaṭalaḥ॥
