Manuscript Features

Scribe does not copy the first four lines of fol. 1v.

The scribe somewhere puts dashes, somewhere leaves blank and somewhere seems to be added later probably for the eligible akṣaras.

The scribe gives important information adding two lines after the colophon. It describes that the presents text is copied from the old palm-leaf MS dated NS 411 kārttikaśuklatrayodaśī getting order from Rājaguru Hemarāja Śarmā.
