Manuscript Features
Missing folio: 169
Two subsequent adhyāyas have been numbered as 190, another two as adhyāya 252. Adhy. 231 is by mistake numbered as 230 in figures, but correctly as 231 in the text.
Handshift after fol. 16. Both scribes frequently apply marginal insertions and corrections. There are also corrections by a third hand. Those are written in Devanagari script.
Between fol. 96 and 97 an unnumbered folio has been inserted. It contains a part of the Agni-Purāṇa which in our manuscript belongs to adhyāya 223. That corresponds to adhy. 233 in the printed edition (Calcutta 1870-77, e-text by Jun Takashima). It begins sannadhaḥ samaraṃ prati ||..." and ends "...| nānvaye sati sarvvasvaṃ deyaṃ in the middle of the third line. Another hand has added in Devanāgarī three ślokas which begin: hirāṇyā kanakā raktā kṛṣṇā caiva tu suprabhā || atiraktā bahurūpā jihvā sapta prakīrttitā || 1 ||
At the end of the manuscript a list of contents has been added in Devanāgarī script.
