Manuscript Features

According to the preliminary title list the manuscript contains two independant texts, however, the second (Rāmanavamīvrata) is not found in the manuscript.

The original foliation starts with folio 10 and ends with folio 49, the other folios are numbered by a second hand.

The hand changes after folio 30. The last folio clearly belongs to another manuscript. Whether some of the others are gathered from another manuscript, too, we cannot determine because of frequently missing folios.

The extant folios are 1, (5), (7), 9-30, 33, 35-36, 39, 42 (broken), 43, 45-48, (51, 59, 65, 67, 69, 71).
