Manuscript Features

There are impresses of the seal on the fols. 1r and 6v (probably of Chandra Shumshere with the year 1970 [VS]).

This MTM contains the following texts :

• Ugracaṇḍīmantrādistotra (fols. 1r1–3r5)
  
• [Ugracaṇḍāsotra] (fols. 3v1–5r5)
  
• [Caṇḍīstotra] (fols. 5v1–6v5)

There are two parallel foliation, the foliation in the middle right-hand margin starts from one and it goes up to six, whereas the foliation in the middle left-hand margin starts from 47 and it goes up to 52.

The second and third texts do not have colophon, but reading the texts thoroughly we can conclude that they are related to the Caṇḍīstotra.
