Manuscript Features
On the recto of the first folio is written in a later hand:
idam pustakam śrīupendrānandanāthasya
vāto marut vāta prāṇo ninaro khāyo javiḥ (?)
The hand changes several times.
The manuscript is slightly damaged, the edges are broken, but without any loss of akṣaras except for the last folio, and at places the writing is rubbed of.
On many pages short comments in the margins are found, on some longer ones which extend over several lines.
