Manuscript Features

The last folio (131v) has "ne. saṃ. 754" written in the bottom space by another hand.

But the date recorded in the colophon is different: the year "mandarudrānanagiri" = 852? (manda → yama → 2; rudrānana → Śiva's faces → 5; giri = 8), the month of Āśvina, bright half, the 6th ("Krauñcavidāraṇa" → the one to whom the tearing of Krauñca belongs → Skanda → 6) tithi, Jyeṣṭha Nakṣatra. This calculates to Thursday, 25 September 1732 CE.
