Manuscript Features

• This MS is a part of larger bundle B 312-1 Kirātārjunīya.
• The MS by itself consists of at least 2 clearly distinguishable "codicological units":
  • The first unit (exp. 2-66b), which appears to be primary to the second one, comprises the first 64 folios + the recto of the 65th folio. It contains the text of Subodhaṭīkā on Kirāta 4.11 - 9.1. The text of Kirātārjunīya is found in short pratīkas only. At some instances the text of the whole verse was added by a latter hand in the margin. The chapter colophons are kept short and mention only the number of the chapter. Its foliation is found in the left hand margin of the verso and was most probably added later, since it starts with "1" and ends with 65.
  • The second unit (exp. 67a-115a) starts at the bottom of 65 recto. It is 70 folios long and contains the text of Subodhaṭīkā along with complete verses of Kirātarjunīya 9.2 - 11.5. Its foliation is found in the right hand margin of the verso and it starts with "134", whereas the left hand margin has the last folio number "65". The chapter colophons are longer and contain information about the text commented upon, the name of the commentary and its author as well as the number of the chapter.
  • Acc. to paleographical features it might be possible to distinguish between several scribes involved in writing of both parts (but esp. the second one) of the MS.
