Manuscript Features

The text runs up to the end of the 41st adhyāya of the Uttarārddha of the Vāyumahāpurāṇa. (The standard Uttarārddha contains eight additional adhyāyas.)

Available folios: 1–268, 270–346, 348–383

Fol. 269 is missing.

Fol. 383v (the last folio) has been microfilmed thrice. The first image appears after fol. 345, and second after fol. 362.

The scribe failed to assign the folio number 347, but the text is continuous. Later, though, he added the number 347 just below of the number 346.

There are two exposures of fols. 70v–71r, 109v–110r, 206v–207r, 209v–210r, 333v–334r, 338v–339r, 345v, 348v–349r, 362v and 369v–370v.
