Dear list members,

I'm looking at a manuscript of the ajñānadvāntadīpikā by somanātha. In some of the folios some words are followed by a mid-level dot (see attached folio 29b with the words followed by the dot circled in blue). Can someone tell me what the mid-level dot means?

This also occurs in folios

17b, 19b, 20a,21a,21b,22a,22b,25a,26a,27a,27b, 30a,30b,31a,32a,32b,34a,
34b,35a,36a,36b,37a,37b

The full manuscript can be downloaded from archive.org, the link is:https://archive.org/download/https://archive.org/download/AgyanDhvantaDeepikaShriSomnath4966Alm22Shlf4DevanagariTantra_201708/Agyan%20Dhvanta%20Deepika%20-%20Shri%20Somnath_4966_Alm_22_Shlf_4_Devanagari-%20Tantra.pdf

Thanks,

Harry Spier
