Manuscript Features

The scribe has indicated missing parts of the text by leaving lacunae in three places, to wit on fols. 28r5, 28v1 and 31r5. At places there are annotations, apparently made by another hand, on the upper and lower margin of some fols. The foliation by numbers on the right-hand margin seems to have been inserted later by another hand as well. Sections of the text are marked by a small ring symbol between two double daṇḍas: || ○ ||.

In the colophon the scribe writes in a kind of deteriorated Sanskrit, confounding sometimes ja and ya, e. g. jadi and jathā instead of yadi and yathā, or ṣa and kha, e. g. leṣaka and liṣitam for lekhaka and likhitam.
