Manuscript Features
Following the Vājasaneyimādhyandina school of the Śuklayajurveda, only the syllables bearing the svarita are enlisted. Every verse or kaṇḍikā is first referred to by a few initial akṣaras. The end of a verse is signalled by a running number between double daṇḍas, beginning anew with each hymn, that is, adhyāya. These adhyāyas are counted by numerals, which sometimes occur in Sanskrit, sometimes in their vernacular form. The so-called enclitic or secondary svarita is marked by additional diacritic symbols, as a double underlining, a frame drawn around the akṣara and the like. These extra signs, however, may have been inserted by a later hand, as there are quite a few later additions or marginal corrections.
The writing of this MS has been rubbed off in a few places. The scribe has numbered two consecutive fols. as “59”. Thus, there are really 64 instead of 63 fols. The last fol., numbered “63”, is broken in two, one half of it having been lost.
There are two additional fols. added to this MS, to be seen on exp. 67 below–69. Both are written in another hand. The first is written in Nāgarī, probably belonging to the Maṇḍalabrāhmaṇa or Maṇḍalabrāhmaṇopaniṣat. The second is written in Newārī characters, and seems to have originally consisted of only one fol. and is called gavastotra. Its language is a kind of hybrid Sanskrit. It is concerned with the different achievements gained by donating cows.
