- The top and left hand margins of several folios are damaged and some letters have been lost. The initial oṃ namo makaradhvajāya (taken from A18/16) has broken off.
- The ślokas are numbered 1–157, in nine paricchedas.
- The title Vāmācaritaprakāśa of the NGMPP catalogue has been emended to Nāgarasarvasva. The Sanskrit ślokas are the same as ones in the Nāgarasarvasva (A18/16). This manuscript is incomplete and there is no mention of Vāmācaritaprakāśa in it. The latter is the name of the 17th pariccheda of the Nāgarasarvasva.
