Manuscript Features

The MS is quite corrupt. Even so, it contains almost no corrections.

In the back of fol. 1, the following words have been inscribed by a member of the NAK: amarakośa ṭippaṇi (sic). For some reason or other, this Ūṣmabheda was kept together with another MS, containing the text of a commentary on the Amarakośa (cf. B 14/4b). Incidentally, both MSS seem to have been written by one and the same scribe, as far as can be guessed both from their type of script and alike outer appearance.

A description of this MS is available in the BSP, vol. IX, p. 47, no. 128, as well as in Śāstri p. 60 sub 1475 ṅa. In the BSP, however, the text has already been “corrected”.
