The work is a specific 23-page Sanskrit manuscript of 'Samudrikam' (Samudrika Shastra) from the Shri Raghunatha Temple Library in Jammu, dated Samvat 1962 (1905 CE). While 'Samudrika Shastra' is a broad genre of Indian physiognomy with many modern thematic books, no evidence was found of a direct English translation of this specific manuscript or a classical text with its unique incipit ('Adidevam pranamyadau...'). Catalog searches across UNESCO, Open Library, and Google Books confirm that no such translation has been published.
