Manuscript Features
1. The MS contains two texts:
- (1) Saṃkṣiptakāśīvijayanāṭaka (exp.11t–18, 2–4t)
- (2) Ugracaṇḍādevīnityarcanavidhi (exp. 4b–10)
2. Exps. 2 and 18, and 5 and 6 are two exposures of the same folio.
3. Much of the dialogue and the Newari stage directions are left out. The result is a shortened and incomplete version of the Kāśīvijayanāṭaka (A 345/10), as the following comparison shows:
| Description | A 345/4 | A 345/10 | percentage | |
| (abridged, incomplete) | (complete) | |||
| Mepu available up to | 57 | equal to | 79 out of 120 | 66% |
| Folios available up to | 11 | equal to | 39 out of 58 | 66% <<<67%>>> |
<<<This I don’t completely understand: 79 what out of 120 what? By equal to do you mean as compared to? / corresponding to?>>>
4. The king Nareśa Malla mentioned here reigned in Bhaktapur from NS 757 āśvina to 763 āśvina. But here he is mentioned in NS 753 bhādra, a date added later in the left margin of the text. Dvitīya sureśa in Mepu no. 4 is in reference to him.
