Text Features: The pratyakṣakhaṇḍa of the Tattvacintāmaṇiprabhā is unpublished. K. Bhattacharya mentions in an 1985 article in JAOS, - not being aware of this manuscript - that only one manuscript in Maithili script is known to exist, which is kept in Paris. Yet it remains unclear, if there are manuscripts in other scripts. The CC does not mention any.

Manuscript Features
Most of the folios are in a good state. Only on a couple of them the writing is rubbed off.
At places there are marginal remarks.
Beginning with fol. 118 there is some confusion with regard to folio numbers. A second foliation has been added in the right margin. Some of the following folios are different in appearance and might have been inserted for missing originals, others look original.
