Manuscript Features

Missing folios are 12-15, which covered parts of the 3rd and the 4th sarga. Only the last folio is damaged at the margins. This manuscript has been written by several hands, none of which appears to belong to a skilled writer, but all of them are legible.

The manuscript contains marginal annotations throughout. They are of a kind that a student would use: interlinear strokes and numbers to indicate the word-division and the anvaya respectively, and some glosses and grammatical analysis in the margins.
