Manuscript Features

This MS is very faulty. On the five folios preserved, more than a hundred errors are to be found. Some of the errors are clearly due to the scribe’s ignorance of the script of the MS which he copied. The stanzas in this MS are numbered. Instead of daṇḍas the symbol • is used after each half-stanza. According to the original index card, “one side of the folio has been smeared with haratāla”.
