Manuscript Features

Foll. 1–2, 11, 14 and 20 are missing.

It seems that the first scribe is the Dhanarāja who copied the book at Bhaktapur and secondly Vinoda at Kathamandu has copied the same book.

According the colophon the author of the book is Jagajjyoti Malla but it doesn't seem so rather it looks like a collection belonging to him.
