Manuscript Features

The text is ascribed in the colophon to the Mahābhārata.

There are two exposures of fols. 12v–15r.

Probably this MS is the copy of the MS on reel no. B 217/3. The missing akṣaras in the middle of some folios and the disorder of the text at the end are exactly same.

The 7th line of fol. 15v contains verse 110. The next verse starts with the word puṣkarā, but after this word the scribe begins copying the same extraneous text found on fol. 21v of reel no. B 217/3.
