Place of deposit, Substance, country yellow paper. Folia, 13. Extent, 195 slokas. Character, Bengali. Date Calcutta, Sir Raja Radhakanta Deva Bahadur. Appearance, old. Verse. Generally correct.

It is written in the usual Tantric style, and gives in detail the rules to be observed in worshiping with the aid of the Gayatri. The MS. is a mere fragment, and I suspect it is a part of one of the larger Tantras.
