Manuscript Features
The following folios are extant: 1–11; 13–92; 94; 93; 95–136. Some folios are slightly worm-eaten. The text proper ends on fol. 135v. There is, however, one more line, written by the same hand, on another folio, which seems to belong to the same text. It reads thus:
- kāmo viṣṇuṃ smaret śrāddhīyavastu brāhmaṇāya pratipādayet ambhasi vā kṣipet tataḥ śiṣaṃ jñātibhiḥ saha bhuñjīt evaṃ (punyo pi) śrāddha……
There is still another folio, also written in Maithilī but by another hand, which seems to contain some kind of contract (or verdict). It also includes a date. It begins thus:
- ❖ …. śrīvīraśarmmapratyarthiśrībhavāyīśarmmaṇor mudrāviṣayavivāde sadāyāmudrāpañcatamī sapādikamādratyarthinā gṛhātātām apari⁅śo⁆dhito dayām ayaṃ sa(hi) samādadhāv ity arthato rthinokte mithyaitad iti pratyarthinā pratyukte ubhe parāmṛṣya vicāra ārabdhe mithyottaratayārthidiśe pramāṇe rthite …
The date reads thus:
