summary:
  en: This is a composite manuscript which primarily constitutes a play that Thapa has named 'Raghuvira Shighra Gamana Katha'. The first folio mentions the end of the twenty-fifth act, whereas folio 5 mentions the conclusion of the thirtieth act. But the manuscript seems not to have arranged the play orderly. The context of the drama is also difficult to ascertain, in Folio 2 we find the term 'praja mithyavada' which can refer to Sita's departure from Ayodhya. Further in Folio 6, there is a mention of Ashvamedha, which strengthens the assumption that the play is based on the Uttarakanda of Ramayana. In folio 8, we find the abrupt conclusion of a stotra named Mohamudgara ascribed to Shankara. Further in folio 16 there is a reference to 'Bhaja Govindam'. It can be inferred that this is a part of the earlier mentioned Mohamudgara and the text is unarranged in the manuscript. Within folio 8 where Mohamudgara ends, there is also a brief text on the Mahabharata--which is further confusing. The manuscript is also interesting from an aesthetic perspective with illustrations on folios 11-13. One among them depicts Siva and Paravati in an erotic mudra with an incomplete stotra verse.
