Manuscript Features

|| maitrāyanīyopaniṣat || patra 31

|| ‥ ‥ ‥ ‥ ‥ yasya ||

The text contains some sub-colophons of the Maitrāyaṇīyopaniṣad but does not contain colophon itself. From the edition, we come to know that the text does not contain the Maitrāyaṇīyopaniṣad only since we find a sub-colophon of this text in fol. 11r (it is almost the end of this upaniṣad but we have still many folios; fols. 11–30). So, we assume that the scribe should have started to copy next upaniṣad but h/se did not finish it.
