A collection of medical works. Matsunami divided this text into three parts. The first part contains 63 folia. It includes: Nāḍīparīkṣā (f.3a); Mutralakṣaṇa (f.3a); Netralakṣaṇa (f.3a); Jihvāparīkṣā (f.3a); Vātajvara (f.3a); Pittajvara (f.3a); Śleṣmajvara (f.3b); Pittaśleṣmajvara (f.3b); Vātaśleṣmajvara (f.3b); Sannipātajvara (f.3b); Siddhināgārjuna-bhaiṣajyakhaṇḍa-prathamakhaṇḍa (f.4a–14a); Nānā-auṣadhi-bhāṣānetraroga-prakaraṇa-prathama-adhyāya (f.18b); Ghorāculi (f.28a), which Matsunami states seems to be the concluding part of the second chapter. Bālatantra-tṛtīya-adhyāya (f.28a); Nānā-auṣadhi-taila-caturtha (f.29b); Nānāmantra-auṣadhi-pañcama (f.33a); Tāranamohanavaśikṛṇa-nānāmantra-ṣaṣṭha by "Nityanātha Siddha alias Neminātha, son of Pārvatī (Generally his name is found mixed up with Nāgārjuna in colophons of mss. of Kakṣapuṭa, Rasaratnākara ect.)" (NCC, Vol. 39, p. 55); (f.55a); Tārana-mohana-dhūpa-siddhināgārjuna-saptamodhyāya (f.62a). After folio 65, the second part begins. It contains a medical tantra work with 5 folia. It includes: Pāśupatāstaśānti (f.1b); Dhūpadīpavarttividhi (f.2a); Gandhavidhi (f.2a); Kasturidayakevidhi (f.2b); Āsavavidhi (f.2b); Sahakāravidhi (f.2b); Karpuratalakṛti (f.3a); Lavaṅgakṛti (f.3a); Sukampālakṛti (f.3a); Madyādivāsanāvidhi (f.3a); Ādrakavidhi (f.3b); Māsasaṃskāravidhi (f.3b); Matsyakālavidhi (f.3b); Dhātuvādakriyāvidhi (f.4a); Dhānadarśanādividhi (f.4b); Kṣudhānāsanavidhi (f.4b); Prativedhavidhi (f.4b) After folio 5, the third part of the manuscript begins. It contains 211 illustrations, most of which are yantras. From folio 26a onward, 32 illustrations of deities are depicted, including four illustrations of Hanumāna and three illustrations of maṇḍalas or yantras. The connection between these three parts is unclear. As Matsunami noted about this manuscript: “Part III: 32 leaves. The first part has 63 leaves and seems to be incomplete. But it is not clear if the three parts make up a single text, or if they are parts of a text, or entirely different texts. In the first part, we find the ends of seven chapters, which have names connected to medicine.” Fols. 35 and 36 are missing from the first part. (Matsunami 1965, p.166). Matsunami provided a detailed description of the manuscript in his notebook no. 21, p. 46.
