Miscellaneous Notes
There are 9 extra folios at the beginning, of which the first 5 folios record benedictory verses; next two folios record mantroddhāra attributed to kumāratantra; next folio records certain nāmāvali; next folio records benedictory verses. In pagination no.148 has been repeated on two folios. In fact, this text formally ends on fol.234b with the concluding statement:" iti kumāratantraṃ samāptaḥ।"; but the succeeding folios 235a - 263b record few paṭalas pertaining to the same text, except two sections viz. fol.241a - 244b - praveśabali (uttarasvāyambhuva) and fol.250a-255a - [āgamavacana]. After this text folios 264 - 270 record miscellaneous subject matters
