About this Manuscript

This is an Avadāna text (Buddhist canonical stories). It contains all the stories, but the manuscript is incomplete (folios 175–177, 180, 181, 185–188 are missing). These stories were narrated by Upagupta to the Mauryan King Aśoka. This is a dated manuscript mentioning Saṃvat 919, which is most probably the Nepal Saṃvat, so the date of the manuscript could be 1798 CE. The scribe was Harṣabhadra, son of Jinīndabhadra.
