Incipit of MS Kathmandu NAK 1/1306

❖ oṃ namaḥ śrīgaṇeśāya namaḥ || oṃ namaḥ sūryyāya ||

tṛṣṇātaraṃgadustāre
saṃsārāmbhodhilaṃghane taraṇiḥ |
udayavasudādharāruṇa-
mūkuṭamaṇiḥ pātu vas taraṇiḥ ||

astaṃgatavati mihire
ʼtimalinadoṣākule ca go vibhave |
udvāhādiṣu śuddhi-
grahaṇārthaṃ dīpikā kriyate ||

śāstrāvatāraḥ

viphalānyanyaśāstrāṇi vivādas teṣu keva(4)laṃ |
saphalaṃ jyotiṣaśāstraṃ candrārkau yatra sākṣiṇau || (fol. 1v1–4)
