Manuscript Features

The manuscript is written by several hands and contains altogether twelve texts. On many pages there are later additions, which at places extend to several lines. Parts of the text are written in a neat and regular hand, the writing of others makes an unprofessional impression.

There is no foliation at all. Some folios are damaged and on several the writing is partly rubbed off which the result of loss of a few akṣaras.

The beginning of the Tārāṣṭaka has not been microfilmed, or is lost. Only the page which contains stanzas 7 and 8 remains.

The Strīvīryastaṃbhaḥ is only 3 lines long.

The last page has been microfilmed twice: On the last exposure and, erroneously, in the beginning, too.
