About this Manuscript

This manuscript contains 5200 verses. The woner of the text was Raghunāthaśāstrīgorehinduḷekara. This Ms. is written in 12–13 lines per folio. Cover page and back page contain title. Title present in colophon (f.191a), begining of the text and marginal abbreviations. There are double red vertical margins on each side of the folio.
