Manuscript Features

This MS contains Newari glosses. The Sanskrit is in a poor condition. Visarga is missing in most cases, that is why it is not expressly indicated by (!) in this catalogue entry. Very often the scribe writes ṇa instead of na, such as aṇeka for aneka etc.

The folios have been microfilmed in reversed order. A few akṣaras on fol. 60v are illegible because of a darkening in the right-hand margin. Fol. 41r contains some kind of table, written by the same hand.

A description of this MS is available in BSP, vol. IX, p. 33f., no. 114.
