Manuscript Features

From the beginning of the Mahābhāṣya the commentary goes up to 1.1.2.4.9 (the 9th vārttika, on eoṅ, aiauc).
On the first dust-leaf of the manuscript is written bhāṣyapradīpoddyotaṭīkāpāyaguṇḍī in Devanāgarī script, under which the same words are written in Roman script.
The lower left of fol. 1v is broken, but the text is intact. On the left side of the last page is written bhāṣyapradīpa vertically from bottom to top.
The scribe copied fol. 41 twice.
The scribe rarely makes any mistake in copying the text. In the last line of fol. 1v and in the last two lines of fol. 54v he corrects a mistake by inking over the words; on the second and tenth lines of fol. 5v he has erased some words to correct his mistake; on the first line of fol. 55v he places a kākapāda above the line and writes some missing words above it; on the first line of fol. 93r he places a kākapāda under the line and writes some missing letters over the line; on fol. 73v he corrects a mistake by erasing some letters and rewriting them properly in the right margin.
On the eighth line of fol. 23v some words were erased so as to be illegible.
In many places the scribe uses another ink at the beginning of a word cited from the Mahābhāṣya, Pradīpa or Uddyota to make it distinct.
