Manuscript Features
The writing on fols. 1v, 3v, 4r, 9v, and 13v is partly rubbed off.
The text states and explaines 64 paribhāṣā rules of the Kātantra, numbering each of the 63 sections at the end with running numbers within double daṇḍas. There are, however, two paribhāṣās given in section 62, thus yielding 64 paribhāṣā rules. Moreover, comparing this MS with an edition of Durgasiṃha's Paribhāṣāvṛtti in Abhyankar 1967, we find the same order and number of paribhāṣās, besides a few cases of variant readings. The number of 65 paribhāṣās instead of 64 in Abhyankars edition results from the splitting of paribhāṣā number 47 of the present MS yaṃ vidhiṃ praty upadeśo [[ʼ]]narthakaḥ sa vidhir bbādhyate yasya tu vidher nimittam asti nāsau bādhyate || in two, thus yielding: yaṃ vidhiṃ praty upadeśo narthakaḥ sa vidhir bādhyate || 47 || yasya tu vidher nimittam asti nāsau bādhyate || 48 ||.
The date in the MS is given as follows: samvat 545 āṣāḍhaśuklapūrṇṇamāsyāṃ tithau | pūrva⁅phālguṇi⁆nakṣatre | ⁅vai⁆dhṛtiyoge | śanidine |. It corresponds to 30th June 1425 AD. The calculation of the date indicates, however, that one should have written *pūrvāṣāḍhanakṣatre instead of pūrvaphālguṇinakṣatre (with hardly legible °phalguṇi°). As the date is otherwise correct and the MS seems indeed to have been written in the first half of the 15th c., the most plausible supposition will be that the copyist has confused the names of the two nakṣatras.
The stamp of the NAK has unfortunately been placed upon the writing which makes °phālguṇi° hardly legible and uncertain.
A commentary on this text is available on A 52/6.
This MS is briefly described in BSP vol. VI, p. 32, viṣayāṅka 104.
