v3.c46.1336

One of the printed versions of the Uḍḍīśatantra 1546 is a treatise on ṣaṭkarman 1547 in 378 verses, to which a number of mantras have been added. It consists of a dialogue between Śiva and Rāvaṇa and has been arranged in ten chapters. The order of these ten chapters does not agree with the table of contents found in chapter one (1.20–27), where eight chief subjects are enumerated: karṣaṇa, unmādana, vidveṣaṇa, uccāṭana, grāmakasyoccāṭana, jalastambha, stambhana, and vājīkaraṇa, followed by a long list of secondary subjects.
