Manuscript Features
There are two colophons at the end of the text. The first one was written by author himself mentioning the date of composition. However the scribe did not copy it completely. The second colophon which is copied immediately after the mūla-colophon is written by the scribe where he gives more information in details, such as: the text was copied from an old Palm-leaf MS in 1985 for the library calledBhāratībhavana having an order from the Rājaguru Hemarāja Śarmā in the kingdom of Tribhuvan etc.
An incomplete, unknown, Tantra-text (seems to be a certain kavaca) consisting five folios appears after the colophon. The beginning and end of it appears as follows:
