Manuscript Features

The manuscript is incomplete and the folios are in disorder. Many are damaged so that the foliation is lost. In some cases the loss amounts to half the page.

The last folio on the microfilm ends: akṣareṣu kuto mokṣam ākāśe kusumaḥ kutaḥ || yāvad udgirate vācā. The other side of this folio is covered with writing by another hand.

The last extant folio seems to be no. 193. On the microfilm it is found on the 111th exposure.
