Manuscript Features
Fols. 182, 218-230, 306, 363, 367, 371-379 and 381 are missing. The last available folio is 382.
There is one side of an extra folio filmed on the last exposure which begins with
norathas te yaṃ matputrasyeva kiṃ vṛthā |
sunītyām ātmano janma kiṃ tvayā nāvagamyate |
and ends with
śuddhaḥ sūkṣmo khilavyāpī pradhānāt parataḥ pumān |
yasya rūpaṃ namas tasmai puruṣāyāvināśine |
This folio seems to have been cancelled by the scribe as he jumped in the second line from 1.11.12 of the Viṣṇupurāṇa to 1.12.48.
