Miscellaneous Notes
Rudrayāmala belongs to the yāmala kind of the śaiva āgama texts. See Introduction p.XXIV. Des. Cat. I. (IFI. no.1). This text contains 4 chapters with the names, 1. mātṛpuṇyāha, 2. bhadrakālīnityapuṇyāha, 3. aṅgārapūjā and 4. kālīpratiṣṭhāvidhi. Among these the first mentioned chapter lays down the method of doing puṇyāha in connection with the festival held in honour of the 7 mothers. The colophon refers to the source for this as rudrayāmala. The 2nd mentioned chapter deals with the daily worship of bhadrakālī. This is found briefly treated in IFI.T.489. However this does not have a colophon mentioning the source. The third text deals with the offering of bali made of the flesh of an animal after baking it. This is to be offered to kāli. The rudrayāmala is mentioned at the end as the source.The 4th deals with the installation of kālī. This is according to the colophon, part of the rudrayāmala
