Manuscript Features
This MS contains parts of a commentary on the Dhātupāṭha of the Cāndra system of grammar. It starts on fol. 1v commenting on the roots of the second class (adādayaḥ) with Sūtra 2.1. Every section belonging to one root is marked with a running number between double daṇḍas at the end, sometimes followed by some auspicious sign. Thus, this portion consists of 63 sections. As the third class begins (juhotyādayaḥ), the numbering begins afresh. This portion consists of 16 sections. Whenever a Sūtra of Candragomins Sūtrapāṭha is cited, two numbers within double daṇḍas give both the Adhyāya and the Pāda of the Sūtra, e.g. 6.1.7 is referred to with || 6 1||, or 5.3.37 with || 5 3 ||. Not all roots of the Cāndra Dhātupāṭha belonging to these two portions are commented upon, sometimes the order of Sūtras is slightly different, sometimes a Sūtra is split into two sections. In two cases a variant reading of a Sūtra corresponds to the reading of the respective Sūtra of the Kātantra Dhātupāṭha. In section 1.33 (fol. 19r) we have rudir aśru vimocane instead of °vimokṣaṇe (cf. Kātantra Dhātupāṭha 2.31 and Cāndra 2.28), and in section 2.12 (fol. 42r) we read udāñ dāne, instead of udā dāne (cf. Kātantra Dhātupāṭha 2.84 and Cāndra 3.18).
Only fols. 1–7 are numbered, from fol. 8 onwards there are small numbers in the bottom of the utmost right hand margin of the verso (not always visible, as the exposure sometimes does not cover the whole folio). These are, however, by a later hand.
The writing on fols. 2v and 18v is slightly rubbed off in some places.
On exposure 2 there is the beginning of another MS, which is the same as the beginning of A 52/5, if a bit more extensive. The latter is supposed to be Pūrṇacandras Ākhyātaratnakoṣa (for further details see A 52/5). Exp. 2 reads as follows:
oṃ namaḥ sarvvajñāya ||

The following observations seem to establish a strong connection between both texts of A 53/4. They are both commenting on the Cāndra Dhātupāṭha. The above fragment introduces the commentary on the first class of roots in exactly the same manner as the following fol. does with the second class. Compare the wording:
tatra prathamam bhuvādaya ucyante || bhū ādir yeṣān te bhuvādayaḥ || ❖ || bhū sattāyāṃ || bhū | sattāyām vidyamānāyām bhū dhātuḥ || (exp. 2 fol. 1v3)
and:
tatra dvitāyam adādaya ucyante || adādir yeṣān te adādayaḥ || ada psā bhakṣaṇe || ada | psā bhakṣaṇe ʼbhyavahṛte ʼrthe ada dhātuḥ || (exp. 3, fol. 1v1).
Furthermore, both MS use the same mode of referring to the Sūtras of Candragomin:
|| 1 2 || refers to Sū 1.2.82, that is to say any Sūtra of this Pāda. Finally, the writing and outer appearance of both fols. favour the notion that both MS have been written by the same scribe. If we are right in supposing that the above fragment is the beginning of Pūrṇacandras Ākhyātaratnakoṣa, we might as well suppose that the remaining fols. of A 53/4 belong to the selfsame text.
A short description of this MS is to be found in BSP vol. VI, p. 28 no. 96, where the MS is styled Dhātupāṭhavṛttiḥ.
