Manuscript Features
This MS is mentioned in BSP vol. vi. P. 62, no. 209, where it is styled Rupāvatāraṣaṭkārakaprakaraṇam (!). Another MS of the same text is mentioned in BORI. D. II. i. 392, where it is called anonymous and thus differentiated from Prabhudāsa’s work (also described there sub no. 391).
