Manuscript Features
This MS contains the commentary only. There are no sub-colophones.
The scribe uses a dot in the middle of a line (similar to the “half daṇḍa” in the Śāradā script) to indicate some break.
Most of the folios are worm-eaten to different degrees. Fols. 1-12 and 130-139 are damaged at the margins. The writing on fols. 123-125 is partly rubbed off.
At the end of the text proper (fol. 139r) the scribe has first written the number 35.000, then crossed and corrected it to 3.500, giving as well the number in the words “pañcaśatādhikaṃ sahasratritayaṃ”, thus indicating the approximate number of granthas (consisting of 36 syllables or akṣaras) he had written in copying the text.
Exposure 2 shows a wooden cover leaf.
