Manuscript Features
Fol. 1–11 are written in Newari characters. From fol. 12 till the end the script is Maithili. On fol. 2r3 the scribe skipped without interruption from the introductory commentary on BhG 1.1 to the commentary on BhG 2.11. Furthermore, the scribe skipped fol. “24”, that is, the text runs continuously from fol. 23 to fol. 25, without any missing portion.
The writing on a few fols. is partly rubbed off, particularly on fols. 1v and 132–133r.
There are occasional marginal corrections, most probably in the original hand(s).
