Manuscript Features

The preliminary database states this manuscript as a MTM but there are two texts microfilmed together. The foliation looks to be continued from 1 to 2, but the first text (rudrakavaca) is broken with the first folio and the second text (rudracaṇḍī) begins with folio no. 2. Fol. 1 of the second text is lost in the manuscript.
