Manuscript Features
On the recto of fol. 1 there is an inscription in Maithili script announcing the birth of a son, giving the event’s date in three different eras, viz. the Śāka, Vikrama, and Lakṣmaṇa era. The dating corresponds to A.D. 1647. Thus, the difference between the Lakṣmaṇa and the Christian era amounts to 1118 years.

The MS itself dates only two years back, i.e. it was copied in lakṣmaṇa samvat 527.
The diagram of the son’s horoscope (janmakuṇḍalī) showing the nine grahas distributed amongst the twelve bhāvas has also been drawn.
