summary:
  en: Composite Manuscript containing four early vedic Upaniṣads:— 1. Kaṭhopaniṣad (f.11a–32b) it is associated with the Yajuraveda. The text is composed as a dialogue between Naciketā a young depressed boy and Yama the deity of death, judgement and dharma. Together they discuss the nature of Ātman, Mokṣa (liberatian) and the relation of Ātman and Brahman. 2. Praśnopaniṣad (f.32b–47a) it is associated with the Atharvaveda. The text is presented as six questions posed to sage Pippalada by students dealing with origin of life. 3. Munḍakopaniṣad (f.47–60a) it is associated with the Atharvaveda. The text differentiates between the knowledge of particular subjects and spiritual knowledge like the path to liberation etc. 4. Unidentified text (f. 60a–60b) This Ms. is written in 12–13 lines per folio. Mistakes are covered with yellow and white or simply blacked out. Some corrections and additions in the margins.
