Dear list members,

 Āgamavacanasaṅgraha, śrīcakranavāvaraṇapūjā, and Navagrahadhyānam from the collaborative Muktabodha/IFP project have been added to the Muktabodha searchable etext  library.  The description of these three texts by Dr. Deviprasad Mishra is:

RE 20082 - The title of this bundle is Āgamavacanasaṅgraha. It starts with some dhyānā ślokās but it mainly covers the Pratiṣṭhābhāga of Śaivāgama. It also deals with the nyāsa technique which is used for the sake of nityapūja and pratiṣṭha from different āgamās. The text mainly covers the Adhvaṣaṭkanyāsam which means mantrādhvanyāsam, padādhvanyāsam, varṇādhvanyāsam, bhuvanādhvanyāsam, tatvādhvanyāsam, kalādhvanyāsam, etc.
m. The condition of the folio is a little bit damaged but the letters are very clean.

RE 31226   śrīcakranavāvaraṇapūjā  this text starts with Dīpapūja and then continued to the dhyānās to the devatas which are there in the circles of the nine (śrīcakranavāvaraṇa) also it recited the mūlamantrās and gurupūja in between, all that covers the Devī (Goddess) (śrīcakra). That’s what it is known as navāvaraṇapūjā.

RE 32425 Navagrahadhyānam. The text starts with the dhyāna ślokās of Vināyaka and it continues providing prayer and praises to the nine planets. It offers salutations to each planet in turn, describing their appearance or association. The planets mentioned are the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. It also provides the ashtakam (eight verses) of all the planets. There is also the description of offering of Dīpa, dhupa and flowers to the planets as it has been described in the Śaivāgama texts and also some vachana-s that describe the  way of pūja done through Śaivāgamas.
