Manuscript Features

This MS contains the first and second pariccheda as well as portions from the third, seventh, eighth, tenth, eleventh and fourteenth pariccheda. This MS seems to be closely related to B 14/29, which contains the fourth and fifth pariccheda of the Ratirahasya. Moreover, the scribe seems to be identical in both MSS. However, both MSS have a foliation of their own.

The writing on fols. 3v–4r has been partly rubbed off.
