Manuscript Features
The manuscript is written by several hands. The hand changes after fol. 93v, 106r, 106v, 185v, 189v. The pages 186r to 189r are written in Devanagarī, the rest of the manuscript in Newarī script.
The surface is damaged at places. On some pages the legibility is affected.
On the recto of the first folio we read: 1 kālikāpurāṇa thva || 2 kārikāpurāṇa thva || harivasajuyāputhithva ||
Folio 114 and the following up to 119 are erroneously numbered as 115 and following, but corrected by a second hand. There is no folio 202. However, folio 203 appears to follow on from folio 201.
One folio, which belongs to another Kālikāpurāṇa manuscript has been inserted at the beginning. It begins: jaṭāmaṇḍitaśīrṣā ca raktapretoparisthitā |, contains the colophon: iti śrīkālikāpurāṇe bhairavavetālasiddhiḥ || and ends: aurvva uvāca || ukto vāyavyabhāgasya'. It is numbered as 76.
After fol. 81v one page of another, heavily damaged additional folio has been filmed. It begins: leti gīyate | pavitran tu mahādevyā bhuktimukti... . The right third of it is broken away.
