Manuscript Features

The manuscript contains two texts, the Bṛhaspatistotra and the Aṅgārastava (others, though listed in the title list, are not found).

Writing is faded in many places, especially on fol. 1r.

The foliation in the right margin is the original one. It starts again with the second text. The foliation at the left is a later addition. Here it is used for practical reasons.

After the end of the second text on 5r two lines have been inserted. The verso side of the fifth folio is covered with yet another text, which could not be identified.
