Manuscript Features
The manuscript is damaged by water, but still legible in most parts. A folio number 61 is not found. However, the text does not seem to be interrupted there.
The manuscript is written by several hands. The foliation in the right margin is made by the first hand. It leaves out the number 42 and ceases with 98. The one in the left margin, made by a scribe who wrote a later part of the manuscript, has the correct numbers. The numerous marginal annotions and corrections may also have been made by one of the original scribes.
Folio no. 83 has been left blank after the first line, which contains the colophon of the 16th paṭala.
Six folios preceed the folio numbered as one. They contain tables with akṣaras and a table of contents. The last folio, which is also not numbered, shows four drawings with diagrams, titled koṣṭavajra, navanābha navapadmaṃ parvvatobhadravat, and bṛhatsarvvatobhadra. The third one is not named.
