Manuscript Features
The MS consists of two parts, i.e. the pūrvārdha of the Vājasaneyisaṃhitā (adhy. 1–20 = fols. 1–102) and the uttarārdha (adhy. 21–40 = fols. 1–59). Fols. 12–19 of the pūrvārdha are missing. Both halves of the Saṃhitā have a foliation of their own.
The colophon of the MS, however, has been written in Newari characters, as well as some corrections and additions to the text. Some folios are somewhat worm-eaten.
