Manuscript Features

As written on fol. 1r, this MS should have the Uttaraṣaṭka together with a commentary. Indeed it gives the commentary alone. The first verse of the mūla found in full in the beginning probably was the cause of confusion. At the end of the MS are found the first folio of one another Uttaraṣaṭka MS, and again the first folio of a MS of the same ṭīkā. The beginning verse is certainly of the Uttaraṣaṭka but the colophon claims it as the 32nd paṭala of the Kubjikāmata.
