Notes:

Title from f. 5v (reads: bhūśuddhibhutaśuddhiḥ samāptaḥ). Cover folio reads: bhūśuddhimāhāmaṁtraprāraṁbhaḥ. On this basis Poleman cataloged the manuscript as Bhūśuddhimāhāmantra.
Written 9-10 lines per leaf on European paper. Watermarks, visible on ff. 4-5: James Spic[er?] and Sons, London.
Good condition. Mistakes covered over with yellow or orange or blotched out with black. Orange powder rubbed in to highlight some words. Marginal corrections.
Begins, f. 1v: śrīgaṇeśāya namaḥ om̐ asya śrībhūśuddhimāhāmaṁtrasya varāha ṛṣiḥ gāyatrī chaṁdaḥ śrībhūmidevī devatā lāṁ bījaṁ līṁ śaktiḥ lūṁ kīlakaṁ sakalajapānuṣṭhānasidhyarthe bhūśuddhimaṁtrajape viniyogaḥ
Ends, f. 5r: mātṛkādvayahīnaś ca vīryahīnoṁ vṛthākṣaraḥ stotraṁ vinā bhujaṁgaś ca digbaṁdharahitā kilā 3 iti samāptaḥ
