Manuscript Features

The following folios are extant: 2-13; 15-17; 19-24. Of fols. 2-7 there are only fragments left (about one third of the writing is lost). Some of the other folios are also slightly damaged in themargins as well as by worms. Moreover, the writing has been partly rubbed off on some folios. The actual order of folios on the microfilm is as follows: 6; 2; 8-13; 19; 15; 20-24; 5; 3; 7; 4. The extant parts of this MS contain portions of the commentary on the fourth adhyāya only. There is a secondary foliation in the right-hand margin.

There are three more damaged folios, similar in appearance and script to those described above, which have been microfilmed on exps. 100-103. These, however, seem to contain another (sub-)commentary on the Cāndravyākaraṇa, that is, it does apparently not comment on the Cāndravṛtti of Dharmadāsa. The extant portions of this MS comment on sūtras of the third pāda of the first adhyāya. An extract of this MS reads as follows (exp. 103 top lines 5):
