Manuscript Features
The writing on fols. 5v–6r has been partially rubbed off.
There is a portion of free space left in the centre of a number of fols., probably intended for illustration.
Both time and place of copying as well as the style of writing of this MS is the same as in A 28/6 (Śalyaparva, q.v.), thus we can assume this MS to have been copied by the same scribe, i.e. Manikarāja Vajrācārya.
