Manuscript Features
The following folios are extant: 1–12; 14; 16–18; 24–27. Above the foliation in the left-hand margin, the syllables gaṇe (for gaṇeśa) are written on each folio, except on fol. 1, where the syllables pa° va appear. Above the foliation in the right-hand margin, the word rāma is written on each folio. On the back of folio 1, the title of the work has been inscribed as “purvapakṣāvali” (!) by some employee of the NAK.
The MS is neatly written. There are virtually no corrections. To distinguish between the letters yu and pra, which are more or less homographs in this hand, the scribe adds an anusvāra like sign, i.e. a dot, to the letter pra. Thus he writes pra-ṃ-yoga, which has notwithstanding to be read prayoga.
