Eleven works on various subjects

The bundle contains the following eleven works: two copies of un unpublished work called Kriyāsāravyākhyā, a commentary on Ravi's Kriyāsara (which also seems to be still unpublished), by Puliyur (Vyāghragrāmālaya) Nārāyaṇa Nampūtiri. Although parts A and B contain the same texts, they constitute two separate codicological units (part A: f° 44r: end of Viṣṇubhāga, 7th paṭala; f° 48r: end of 8th paṭala; f° 50v: end of 9th paṭala; f° 52v: end of 10th paṭala; f° 56r: Śaṅkaranārāyaṇabhāga, end of 2nd paṭala; f° 60v: end of 4th paṭala; f° 61v: end of 5th paṭala; part B: f° 37v: end of 5th paṭala; f° 42v: end of 6th paṭala; f° 46r: end of 7th pṭala; f° 55r: end of 8th paṭala; f° 63r: end of 9t paṭala, the bundle concludes with deśikāvarṇana) (part A images 0005-0040; part B 0041-0100). Śāṅkarachāndogyabhāṣyaṭippaṇa, cf. B-0567 (C) (the bundle ends with the end of the 5th adhyāya) (part C images 0101-0142). [Fragments of normative texts] - the section does not appear as a unitary text, it starts with a long quote from Manusmṛti 7, the end is a commentary on a normative text with quotes from Gautamadharmasūtra (part D images 0143-0186). Yudhiṣṭhiravijayavyākhyā (part E images 0187-0238). Pārṣadavyākhyā - for a work of the same name, see B-0525, which is a commentary on the Ṛgvedaprātiśākhya (part F images 0239-0262). Bālakrīḍā (commentary on the Yājñavalkyasmṛti) by Viśvarūpa - the root-text is called in the rubric Yogīndrapraṇītasaṃhitā (rubric on f° 111v: end of the 1st adhyāya) (part G images 0263-0312). (Śaiva-)Vāyavīyasaṃhitā (rubric marks the end of the 29th adhyāya) (part H images 0313-0322). [Fragment of a ritual text on Kalāśābhiṣeka] (part I images 0323-0334).

Gautamadharmasūtra by Gautama (fragment of one adhyāya, number illegible (…viṃśo 'dhyāyaḥ), perhaps 19; corresponds to the portion starting with 2.9.6 (chapter 18) in the electronic text of GDhSū) (part K images 0353-0354).
