Jvālāmukhīpañcāṅgatantra
This manuscript fragment represents a significant devotional and philosophical text in Sanskrit, combining hymnic invocations to Śiva (Viśveśvara, Vṛndāvana) with extended passages from the Bhagavadgītā, specifically the concluding chapters featuring the dialogue between Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna. The text exhibits notable textual variation through its mixed deployment of Devanāgarī and regional scripts (likely Modi or related Marathi-Kannada traditions), alongside substantial lacunae and interlinear corrections that suggest active scribal engagement. The presence of the Mṛtyuñjaya mantra and technical terminology related to yogic cosmology (mahābhūta, māṇḍala) indicates its ritual and meditative function, while the colophonic notation "Sing - 1420 - 28 c - 1909" points to modern archival provenance from the Sikh kingdom or Punjab region.
