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).
