Manuscript Features
The scribe and the date of copying are mentioned in the colophon but we could not read it.
The colophon is followed by a scattered folio of an anonymous text reading:
❖ oṁ namaḥ śrīrāmacandrāya ||
namas tasmai munīndrāya śīyutāya tapasvine | sarvvajñānādhivāsāya vālmīkāya namo namaḥ |
…
saṃkulaṃ dānavendraiś ca pātālatalavāsibhiḥ | lomaharṣaṇam akṣobhyaṃ dṛṣṭvā te
Fol. 131 has been mentioned twice to the two successive folios. There are two exposures of fols. 24v–25r and 63v–65r.
