Manuscript Features
This MS includes the Sūtrapāṭha of Pāṇini's Aṣṭādhyāyī, some short passages of the Mahābhāṣya and the Kāśikā<ref name="ftn1">Right after the last Pratyāhārasūtra, the MS inserts a verse of the Kāśikāvṛtti, teaching how many pratyāhāra-s are to be formed with each anubandha respectively (fol. 1v3–4).</ref>. The text is complete, save a few missing Sūtras belonging to the end of the first Pāda of the fourth Adhyāya, i.e. 4.1.172–178. The sub-colophon of this Pāda is equally missing. There are numerous insertions in margine made by the same hand. The foliation leaves out fol. 22, the text running continuously from fol. 21 to fol. 23. Thus, there are just 81 fols. instead of 82.
Before and after this MS, two more fols. have been micro-filmed respectively, all in Maithilī characters, but unrelated to the MS. The last one gives just a table of the numbers from one two hundred, ordered in groups of ten.
