Sanskrit Manuscripts

This illuminated paper manuscript contains a collection of devotional works of Vaiṣṇava (and Śaiva) affiliation: the Gaṇeśastotra, the Bhagavadgītā (preceded by a short introductory text containing information for the recitation of poem such as ṛṣiḥ, chandas, devatā, bījam, śaktiḥ etc., and for meditating upon it, i.e. dhyāna verses), the Viṣṇusahasranāma (from the Mahābhārata), the Bhīṣmastva (from the Mahābhārata), the Anusmṛti (from the Mahābhārata), the Gajendramokṣaṇa (from the Mahābhārata), the Śivastotra, the Gurugītā (from the Skandapurāṇa; preceded by a short introductory text containing information for the recitation of poem such as ṛṣiḥ, chandas, devatā, bījam, śaktiḥ etc., and for meditating upon it, i.e. dhyāna verses), the Viṣṇupañjarastotra (from the Brahmāṇḍapurāṇa), the Nārāyaṇopaniṣad, the Kālāgnirūdropaniṣad (called Kāgnirudropaniṣad in the manuscript), the Ātmabodha, attributed to Śaṅkara, and the Viṣṇumahimnastotra. This paper codex bears twenty polychrome illuminations and has a carefully structured and realized layout, the written area being inscribed in a multiple marginal frame in black and red ink, coloured in yellow. This manuscript can be said to belong to a typology of manuscripts, probably common in 19th-century North India, i.e. collections of devotional works in codex format with illuminations and an ornate layout (see also <a target='_blank' class='externalLink' href='http://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/MS-OR-01817/1'>Or.1817</a> and <a target='_blank' class='externalLink' href='http://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/MS-OR-02031/1'>Or.2031</a> and also DD.7.2, an illuminated multi-text devotional manuscript of Vaiṣṇava affiliation kept at the Christ's College, Cambridge, and containing the Bhagavadgītā, the Viṣṇusahasranāma, the Bhīṣmastava, the Anusmṛta, the Gajendramokṣaṇa and the Rāmacandrastavarāja).
