Manuscript Features
There are five more folios appended to this MS, which seem to have been written by the same scribe as the MS proper: two folios containing some Vedic mantras (exps. 162–163); a list of contents of the Śrāddhaviveka (exps. 164); as well as some short text apparently connected with the Śrāddhaviveka (exps. 165–167). The latter begins as follows:
- ❖ oṁ āśuḥ śiśāno vṛṣabho na bhīmo ghanāghanaḥ ścchobhanaś (!) carṣanīnāṃ |
- saṃkrandano ʼnimiṣa ekavīraḥ śataṃ senā ajayat sākam indraḥ<ref>Cf. Ṛgveda 10.103.</ref> ||

- tandrinajayatatatsaha⟪..⟫ yudho○nara iṣuhastena vṛṣṇā<ref>Ibid. 10.104.</ref> | (fol. 1r1–2)
it ends thus:

- vatso jarāyu pratidhuk pīyūṣa āmikṣā ghṛtaṃ ○ tad v asya retaḥ<ref>Cf. Atharvaveda 9,4.4 (Śaunaka recension).</ref> ||

- vṛṇomi tam ahaṃ bhaktyā sa māṃ rakṣa tu sarvvataḥ<ref>Cf. Viṣṇusmṛti 86.15.</ref> ||
(venatu)vāsaṃ saduśrīdhanapate○s prasāta (!) śrāddhavivekapustakā likhitā mayaiva || yathādṛṣṭaṃ tal likhitam eva || (fol. 2v1–3)
On the back of fol. 1 there are the following verses (in mixed metre) written in Maithilī characters, possibly written by the scribe of the MS proper:
❖ siddhiḥ ||
- samīhitaṃ janma labhāmahe vayaṃ prabho na doṣas tava karmmaṇo mama | ○ ||
- daṇḍī khaṇḍam itaḥ prayaccha nanu vā svāṅke gṛhāṇārbbhakaṃ
