This manuscript contains two tracts of text describing Mandalas: Maṇḍaladevatāpūjana (title from colophon, f. 4v), and Liṅgatobhadralakṣaṇa (title from colophon, f. 5v). Poleman catalogs the manuscript under the latter title. F. 4v supplies title as "aliṅgatobhadralakṣaṇa," but this is probably an error for "atha liṅgatobhadralakṣaṇa."
Good condition.
