Manuscript Features
There are painted wooden covers; there is an extra folio in the end with miscellaneous verses in the same handwriting. The first folio of the original MS is missing and the first folio of an Ekākṣarakoṣa MS has been microfilmed the first folio. There are two folios numbered as 112. They both begin with the same phrase (saṃbodhane pādapūraṇe etc.) in the recto side but end differently. The first one ends with the scribe’s colophon and a verse in praise of Kṛṣṇa to fill up the empty space, but the second one begins to copy the Śabdabheda-prakāśa, another koṣa-text by the same author, after the regular colophon of the Viśvaprakāśa. So I have taken the first one as the last folio of the Viśvaprkāśa MS and the second one as the first folio of the Śabdabhedaprakāśa.
