One of the Most Interesting Items in these Shelves was Sri Vidya Paddhati of Sahib Kaul at 771 Pages.

Sahib Kaul, believed to be an Enlgihtened Shaiva Master of Medieval Kashmir whose Devi Nama Vilas is published – and a manuscript in Sharada we have digitized also – located at Ishwar Ashram Trust, Sarita Vihar, Delhi. This New Work I reckon is not only unpublished but is unknown as well.

Terminal Colophon:

श्रीम्च्छ्रीमहामाहेश्वराचार्य सर्व दैशिकवरेन्द्र चक्रचूडामणि साहिब कौल विरचिता श्री विद्या नित्य पूजा पद्धतिः समाप्ता

This Document may be an Authentic Source of History of the State of the Transmission of Sri Vidya in Kashmir.

I will try to contact Prof. Donald Renfrew Brooks ( his email unknow to me ) – the Author of the Highly readable and comprehensive ‘Auspicious Wisdom – The Texts and Traditions of Sri vidya Sakta Tantrism in South India‘ – and see if this new manuscript means anything.

The Manuscript is below:

Shelf-4-5-6 are entirely musicological. They are mostly thick tomes. One Rag Malhar – in Old Hindi Prose at 779 pages – on Music as well – is viewable below:
