Manuscript Features

This MS comprises a commentary on the Cāndravyākaraṇa, referring both to the Cāndravṛtti and the Cāndradhātupāṭha. The MS really consists of three parts or portions, all alike in style of writing and outer appearance, but each having a foliation of its own. Each part will be described individually in the "excerpts".

Part one comprises the commentary on the pratyāhārasūtras up to 1.1.159, that is to say, the first pāda of the first adhyāya. Of this portion, fols. 1 and 44 are missing. Damaged are fols. 2–11; 36; 38–91. The writing on fol. 91v is partly rubbed off.

Part two comprises the commentary on sūtras 1.4.1–48 (fols. 1–11 and exp. 109 below) and 1.4.144–148 (fols. 12–13), that is to say, the beginning and end of the fourth pāda of the first adhyāya. The fols. containing the missing sūtras in between have been lost, the foliation of fols. 12 and 13 being 'corrected' by a later hand. This portion of the MS ends with an unnumbered fol. (exp. 109 below), containing the commentary on sūtra 1.4.48, probably the original fol. 12. All of these folios are slightly damaged. The writing on fol. 1r is partly rubbed off.

Exposure 99 below, being situated between fols. 4 and 5, shows an additional folio, looking alike the other folios and seemingly belonging to the same MS, but containing the commentary on 1.1.15, already occurring on fol. 17r of 'part one'. There is yet another additional folio on. exp. 111 above, containing a portion of the commentary on the pratyāhārasūtras, already occurring on fol. 2r of 'part one'. Lines 3–5 of this folio contain the following verse, written in Maithilī and having nothing to do with the text proper:

27<ref>A stylised form of the holy syllable oṃ.</ref> || brahmāṇīpramukhāś ca bhṛṣṭapṛthukaṃ lājāḥ surendrāśanaṃ

mudgam māṣakacānakaṃ ca yavakaṃ dravyaṃ jhaṣādraṃ (4) palaṃ |

tailaṃ sindhujabhair[⌣]ādisahitā cintāmaṇiḥ siddhidā (!)

śrīsiddhiḥ samayo ʼstu vāñcchitapha(5)lan devyāḥ prasādāt sadā<ref>The third pāda of this Śārdūlavikrīḍitaṃ is lacking one syllable.</ref> ||

samayaviyevākyaḥ (!) ||

Exp. 110 shows the two empty backs of the folios on exp. 109 below and 111 above.

Part three ending, unlike the two other parts of the MS, without a (sub-)colophon, equally refers to the sūtras and the Dhātupāṭha of the Cāndra system of grammar, but it remains unclear if it really belongs to the Sumatipañjikā being described here.

Another interesting feature of this MS is the manner of citing the sūtras of Candragomin: sometimes, the sūtra to be cited is first referred to by its two initial akṣaras, and then once more given in full, as in: vido || vida 5 1 laṭaḥ 6 1 vā 1 1 || (part 2, fol. 3v3–4), which stands for Cān. 1.4.12 vido laṭo vā.

The two numbers following each word are to indicate the respective case and number of the word, thus 5 1 meaning ablative (pañcamī, fifth case) singular. Interestingly, also indeclinables as va are marked in this way. One more effect of this procedure, however, is the splitting up of the sandhi between the individual words or components of the sūtra.
