It is written in Bangla script, the letter 'Ba' is written like 'Ra' in many places. This Ms. is written 2–4 lines per folio. Palm leaves strung together with a cord through the center hole with wooden covers. Ink fading on some leaves. The Ms. is dated 1744 Śaka Saṃvata (1822 CE), 1229 San in (f.87a). It is dated according to the early Bengali era from the time of king Śaśāṇka hence it adds up to 1822 CE which would not be possible if we took the later Bengali era.
