Manuscript Features
This MS gives the tiṅanta portion of the Rūpāvatāra, a Prakriyā type of grammar, based on Pāṇini's Aṣṭādhyāyī. Thus, many Sūtras of Pāṇini's are referred to, sometimes quoted in full, sometimes only by the two or three initial akṣara-s of the Sūtra.
As a rule, there are six lines per fol., except fols. 1v and 55r (7 lines); fols. 62; 80; 87–90; 93; 96–99 (5 lines); and fol. 100r (4 lines).
The scribe has erred twice with regard to the foliation, since he numbered two fols. "28" and left out "56", thus counting 55, 57. However, the text of the MS runs continuously.
On fol. 1r has been inscribed by members of the NAK tiṅantabhedavyākaraṇam, in Devanāgarī characters, as well as the accession no. of the NAK.
After the MS proper, another fol. has been added and micro-filmed, bearing a Newari colophon unrelated to the present text.
