Manuscript Features
Fols. 83 and 85 are missing. Two folios have been numbered “65”. This MS contains the commentary only, the mūla-text being referred to by citing a few syllables from the beginning of the respective verse.
A description of this MS is to be found in BSP vol. IX p. 34 no. 115.
There is an additional folio appended to this MS (fol. “140”, exp. 168 bottom), written in Maithili characters, constituting the last folio of a text called Ācāracintāmaṇi by Vācaspati(miśra, cf. NCC vol. ii p. 23). This folio is probably the missing folio 140 of B 34/1. The colophon runs thus (fol. 140v3–5):
