2 New Sharada Manuscripts at Raghunath Temple

On By eGangotri Digital Preservation TrustIn Manuscripts

Recently, I ran into a Book on Nataraj with some very stunning photographs by Shri Kamal Kishor Mishra, currently Associate Professor in Calcutta University.

I was pleasantly surprised that, Prof. Mishra had done the Second Set of Catalog Post-Stein to bring up to date the Collection.

3 Volumes were by Patekar done in the 70s and the fourth Volume by Prof. Mishra and Late Shri Dhaniram Shastri, Chief Librarian of Raghunath Temple.

I decided to digitize all Kashmir Shaiva Manuscripts based on this New Catalog. I realized all entries related to the Script of the Manuscript are entered as Devanagari which is clearly wrong. Only Two entries in the 4th Volume showed Sharada, hence I had these done first.

The First manuscript contains the following Stotras:

i. Ganapati Stavaraja ( from Bhaivhsya Purana ),
ii. Bhavani Nama Sahasraka (from Rudrayamala),
iii. Vitastata Stotram
iv. Jwalamukhi Stotram ( Ratna Pancha Kavya) )
v. Sharika Stotram
vi. Saundarya Lahari
vii. Mukunda Mala
viii. Narakottarana Sotra(?)
ix. Bhagavata Gita ( Mahabharata )
x. Devi Mahatmya ( Markandeya Purana )
xi. Indrakshi Stotra

The second Sharada Manuscript is the Bhuvanshwari Panchanga – from the Rudrayamala – according to the Title.
