The bundle contains a collection of ten classical Upaniṣads, and three Advaita-Vedānta works. These are: Īśāvāsyopaniṣad (images 0013-0015). Kenopaniṣad (images 0015-0019). Kaṭhopaniṣad (images 0019-0034). Praśnopaniṣad (images 0034-0048). Āgamaśāstra by Gauḍapāda (including the Māṇḍūkyopaniṣad) (images 0048-0055). Taittirīyopaniṣad (images 0055-0065). Aitareyopaniṣad. The beginning of the text, although given as the ninth adhyāya, corresponds to the familiar beginning of the Ātmaṣaṭka (om ātmā vā idam eka evāgra āsīn). In no recension (shorter or longer) of the Āraṇyaka does the second āraṇyaka have ten adhyāyas, so the division of the original text is unclear to me. Note that a different division of the text coexists, stating that "from the beginning of the brāhmaṇa" (i.e. probably the second āraṇyaka), the text ends with the fifth adhyāya (images 0065-0078). Muṇḍakopaniṣad (images 0079-0099). Taittirīyopaniṣad (images 0101-0122). Subrahmaṇyāṣṭottara (images 0123-0128). Pañcīkaraṇa attributed to Śaṅkara (not mentioned here). Generally following the text of the brief tract called "Pañcīkaraṇa", attributed to Śaṅkara, though the text slightly differs from the published one (images 0129-0131). Ātmabodha, with Malayalam gloss, original attributed to Śaṅkara (images 0133-0180). Bṛhadāraṇyakopaniṣad (images 0181-0229). The manuscript is in good condition. Not all of the texts in the bundle are complete.
