Manuscript Features
The text starts from 29th adhyāya of Śalyaparvan and runs up to the end of the Śalyaparvan (till 64th adhyāya). Those adyāyas are known as Tīrthayātrā(upa)parvan (29–53 adhyāyas) and Gadāyuddha(upa)parvan (53–64 adhyāyas) (POONA EDITION).
A folio, smaller than the other folios and written with a different hand containing Nepali commentary of the missing folio (fol. 2) appears between fols. 1 and 2.
Other five same folios having foliation (12, 13 14, [1]33 and [1]34 in the upper left-hand margin (also in reverse order) appear between fols. 11–15 and 132–135 as regular folios. Those folios contain the commentary of the root text of the missing folios. It is possible that somebody tried to fill up the missing text but wrote commentary portion only.
Fol. 193v is dimmer than the rest of folios.
