AgP 191.1

:ए इत्य् आग्नेये महापुराणे अखण्डद्वादशीव्रतं नाम नवत्यधिकशततमो ऽध्यायः ॥ :न् १ स्वर्णपात्राणि इति ख॥ , घ॥ , ञ॥ च २ अग्निर् उवाच । अखण्डद्वादशीं वक्ष्ये इत्य् आदिः, राज्यभोगादिमाप्नुयादित्यन्तः पाठः झ॥ पुस्तके नास्ति :प् २२१ छप्तेर् {१९१} :श् अथैकनवत्यधिकशततमो ऽध्यायः त्रयोदशीव्रतानि अग्निर् उवाच त्रयोदशीव्रतानीह सर्वदानि वदामि ते अनङ्गेन कृतामादौ वक्ष्ये ऽनङ्गत्रयोदशीं

:e ity āgneye mahāpurāṇe akhaṇḍadvādaśīvrataṃ nāma navatyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ || :n 1 svarṇapātrāṇi iti kha.. , gha.. , ña.. ca 2 agnir uvāca / akhaṇḍadvādaśīṃ vakṣye ity ādiḥ, rājyabhogādimāpnuyādityantaḥ pāṭhaḥ jha.. pustake nāsti :p 221 chapter {191} :ś athaikanavatyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ trayodaśīvratāni agnir uvāca trayodaśīvratānīha sarvadāni vadāmi te anaṅgena kṛtāmādau vakṣye 'naṅgatrayodaśīṃ

Thus (ends) in the Āgneya Mahāpurāṇa the one hundred and ninetieth chapter, named "The Observance of the Unbroken Twelfth." (Variants: kha, gha and ña read "vessels of gold"; the passage beginning "Agni said: I shall declare the Unbroken Twelfth" and ending "...would obtain kingship, enjoyments and the rest" is not in manuscript jha.) [p. 221] Chapter 191. Now the one hundred and ninety-first chapter: the observances of the thirteenth. Agni said: Here I shall tell you the observances of the thirteenth, which grant everything. First I shall declare the Anaṅga Thirteenth, performed (of old) by Anaṅga (the Bodiless One, Kāma).
