Manuscript Features

• First folio of the bundle (exp. 2 + 3top) is the first folio of an unidentified commentary on Yogaśata (Yogaśataka). The first line of the recto is inscribed and ~identical with the first line of the verso, however, highly corrupt. It is most probable that the scribe first started to write the MS on this side, but then, considering many mistakes occurred already in the first line of the MS, switched to the other side of the same leaf. The text reads:

• The 2nd folio is an excerpt from an unidentified compendium of medical formulae. Acc. to the subcolophons found here, this folio contains the following medical recipes:
  • śvadamṣṭrādya(!)ghṛtaḥ || ○ || (exp. 3 bottom, l3) - Cf. Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā Cikitsāsthāna 3.102 - 105
  • nīlabindutaila(ṃ) (?)|| ○ || (exp. 4 top, l2)
  • kāśyapīyataila(ṃ) || ○ || (exp. 4 top, l5)
• The 3rd folio (exp. 4 bottom - exp. 5 top) contains some type of viṣayānukrama for some medical text.
• The 4th, 5th and the verso of 6th folio of the bundle have been, probably, used by some scribe for an exercise in writing.
• The folios of the main text (exp. 8 bottom - exp. 68) were photographed in reversed direction.
