Manuscript Features
Two manuscripts have been filmed under this reel no. (The first being Manoramā). They are similar to each other with regard to layout, handwriting and size and may therefore have belonged together originally, too.
There are marginal corrections on both, made by the first and a later hand.
The beginning of the first text is missing, because the recto side of the first folio has not been filmed. This manuscript has a foliation in the upper left and in the lower right corners, placed under the syllables taṃ°rā°ṭi(!) and śivaḥ respectively.
The second text has some larger lacunae, obviously inherited from the exemplar, which the scribe has indicated by leaving space. Two amount to almost two pages, with a loss of text of stanzas 9.24a-to 9.44cd and 9.70d to 9.91d. On other folios, the lacunae are running diagonally across the pages, leaving spaces of about 12 akṣaras.
The hand changes twice in this manuscript.
Foliation is as described above, except for the upper left corner, which has the short title taṃ°tra°rā.
