Manuscript Features
This manuscript is a mixture of parts of several manuscripts. The 2nd, 4th, 13th and 18th folio contain parts of the Kuśopadeśanītisāra (the 13th from another manuscript than the others). The 1st, 3rd and 5th to 9th folio contain parts of a Tantric text, the 10th and 11th of a similar text but again from another manuscript, as well as the 14th and 15th. As for the rest of the folios it is not easy to determine to which others they belong. The writing and the layout of all of them is quite similar.
