Manuscript Features
The writing appears old (maybe 12th–13th c. A.D.) The text, however, is rather corrupt. The Ekākṣarābhidhāna proper begins on fol. 4r4, being preceded by a portion concerned with grammar, referring to paribhāṣās and pratyāhāras (fols. 1–3 are missing). The verses of the Ekākṣarābhidhāna are then followed by a commentary called ṭippaṇī.
A short description of this MS is to be found in BSP vol. IX p. 51 no. 140.
