Miscellaneous Notes
There is an extra folio at the beginning which records the text title: śkāndaṃ śaṃkarasaṃhitai saṃbhavakāṇḍa." There are 6 kāṇḍas in this text and each has been divided in to adhyāyas, viz. saṃbhavakāṇḍa 50 adhyāyas; āsurakāṇḍa 25 adhyāyas; vīramāheśvarakāṇḍa 7 adhyāyas; yuddhakāṇḍa 25 adhyāyas; devakāṇḍa 7 adhyāyas; dakṣakāṇḍa 41 adhyāyas. It seems that while writing the last kāṇḍa (i.e. dakṣakāṇḍa) the scribe, initially, had skipped the adhyāyas 15 - 20, which have been added later on folios 111 - 119
