Prāyaścittanirṇaya, Pādavidhāna

The bundle contains a text called Prāyaścittanirṇaya - in Malayalam with some Sanskrit, dealing with various expiations (prāyaścitta), like smārtaprāyaścitta, impurities due to sīmantā, doṣa, puṃsavana, etc. All these expiations belong to the domain of Gṛhya-rituals (images 0012-0149). This is followed by Pādavidhāna (images 0150-0178). The Prāyaścittanirṇaya is incomplete - it is interrupted towards the end. The manuscript is in good condition. There are three stray leaves in the bundle, also on the topic of prāyaścittas.
