Manuscript Features
This MS consists only of a fragment, that is the last folio of a longer text. The missing folios, which might very well to be found on some other reel, seem to have five lines on each side. On the back of the extant folio, the following has been written by another hand in Newari characters:
- ❖ namaḥ śrīkhasarppaṇāyaḥ (!) ||
- abhimataphaladātodbhāsikalpadyruma(!)śrīḥ
- sugatamatamahārthaṃ kṣemakṛt sārthavāhaḥ |
- bhavaśamasamabhāvaḥ sarvabhāvasvabhāvaḥ
- śa⁅mayatu ja⁆gadarghaḥ so ʼyam ambhojapāṇi (!) || 1
- oṁ sarvagatebhyo viśvamukhebhyaḥ sarvathā khasamudbhūtaspheraṇahimaṃ gaga(nakhaṃpṛhne)damvalintasvāheti mantreṇa ||
Below this, the following has been written in modern Devanagari characters, probably by some employee of the NAK:
- mahāpaṇḍitāvadhūtakṛṣṇavajrapādakṛtiḥ vajrāvalī.
