Manuscript Features

This manuscript is listed as E 416/2 in the handwritten logbooks, the Preliminary Title List and subsequent catalogue databases. On the catalogue card, however, E 415/2 is written.

The manuscript is incomplete. The available folios are: 1–36 (36v ending with the words ity uktā svakāsvakāśrame para[[ma]]), followed by a loose folio being partly damaged so that the foliation is not preserved (beginning with the words drari〈〈pra〉〉ya || kotiṣovāca || mahārāja naivaṃ grahapūjanaṃ dānañ ca taṃ pāpapuruṣaṃ

Some folios, especially the first ones, are damaged in the margins resulting in a slight loss of text on fol. 1v.

On the cover leaf (fol. 1r), oṁ namo vāgīśvarāyaḥ is written.

Occasionally, there are corrections (mostly insertions) in the margins.
