Manuscript Features
The outer sections of both the right-hand and left-hand margins have been cut, probably because they were damaged. In this way, parts of the original foliation has been lost, which is still there only on fols. 3–5. Fols. 6–7 have been numerated by a second hand. Originally, the word śivaḥ was written in the lower right-hand margin in the verso of each folio. The individual fols. have been pasted on somewhat bigger sheets of paper.
The scribe makes abundant use of the anusvāra instead of the respective class nasal in internal sandhi.
On the back of fol. 1 the following words (besides some later additions) are written, most probably by the scribe himself: ṛkśikṣādicatuṣṭayaṃ patre 38 śikṣāprāraṃbhaḥ || śrīsāṃba || || graṃthasaṃkhyā 72 akṣara 2304.
On the back of fol. 7 the following words are written, most probably by the scribe himself: || śikṣā samāptaḥ (!) ||
