Manuscript Features
The commentary is written in small letters around the mūla.
The writing is rubbed off on many folios. Large parts of the commentary have thus become illegible (at least on the microfilm), as well as (smaller) parts of the mūla.
Missing folios: 13, 54, 152, 216-252
The commentary is incomplete, ie parts have been left out. Some variant readings (compared to the printed text) are found in this manuscript, but, judging from the short excerpts below, their quality doesn't seem to be good.
