Manuscript Features
Written in Bhujimol script. Some marginal corrections by the scribe. At the end of th 1st to 3rd text at least one page is left blank and the following text begins at the top of the next verso page. The colophon of the Mahāpratisarā is lost with folio 114. The addition at the end of the second sub-colophon has been made by a second hand. The part of the final colophon which contains the date has a different appearance from the rest of the manuscript. However, the difference seems to be due to a change of the pen and not of the scribe.
Most of the folios are well preserved and legible. On some the writing is rubbed off. Missing folios: No. 20, 40, 41, 46, 51-58, 114, 118, 119. Heavily damaged folios (with loss of about one third of the text): No. 117, 120. Damaged at the edges: No. 1, the 2nd folio (foliation illegible).
