Manuscript Features

The first folio recto and the remaining space on the last folio have been filled with stanzas by another hand. The right edge of the first folio is broken.

Marginal corrections by the same hand. The last folio is partly broken and badly legible. Fols. 47-49 are missing and with them the fourth text which was Rāmāyaṇasāvitrī and from which now only the colophon is preserved. Altogether the manuscript contains seven texts. After the third and the fifth text there are elaborate scribal colophons.
