Notes:

Title written in black in the center of the upper margin of f. 1r, in a hand other than that of the scribe. Title abbreviations "Kāma" or "Kā" appear on upper left margins of numerous folios. UPenn's handwritten catalog notes and New Cat. Cat. identify the text as part of the Rudrayāmala. No justification for this is apparent, and the text is presumably the same Kāmakalāvilāsa described in New Cat. Cat., vol. 3, as "55 Āryā verses on Devī worship by Puṇyānanda (also called Advaitānanda...) of Kashmir, teacher of Amṛtānandanātha."

Written 7-8 lines per leaf, running into the margins on f. 8v.

Good condition. Text written in brown. Some water damage on ff. 7-8. Mistakes covered over with yellow or blotched out with brown. Marginal corrections in black and brown. Pagination errors.

Ends (f. 8): dhāraṇāt tasya sūtrasya nochiṣṭo nāśuci bhavet yadātmāprajñayātmānaṁ saṁdhatte paramātmani tena saṁdhyādhyānam ekaṁ tasmāt saṁdhyābhivadanaṁ 5
