Manuscript Features

The MS contains the text from 65th sloka to the end of the second sarga and from the beginning to the end of the fourth sarga.

Folio numbers are not continuous. Handwriting is different in first folio and the rest of the folios.

It seems that these folios are collected folios of two different manuscripts.
