From this we learn that this commentary was written in the Śāka year 650 (A.D. 728/729), exactly a hundred years after Brahmagupta’s composition of his Khaṇḍakhādyaka, which took place in Śāka 550. Thus, fols. 55–66 might very well be the initial part of Lalla’s commentary called Khaṇḍakhādyapaddhati, which was considered lost, as he is said to have thrived between A.D. 713 and 768.
The writing on fols. 20v–21r and 52v–54r has been partially rubbed off.
In some places there are marginal annotations.
Exps. 2 and 7 show a cover leaf with the accession number of the NAK and the (wrongly identified) title Varāhamihīrasaṃhitā (!) written in Nagari characters.
There is a short description of this MS in BSP vol. 1 p. 37 f. no. 59.
