Manuscript Features
The writing only on the first folio recto is partly rubbed off, on the other folios it is clear and legible.
The colophon seems to be a later addition, except for the first two sentences up to śubhaṃ bhavatu sarvvādā(!). The rest is written by another hand. Moreover the last two folios (20-21) are shorter in size and lack foliation. Therefore it is not entirely clear if the date refers to the time when the manuscript was written or to some other incident.
