here and there with the result that the copyist has left some gaps now and then. Such gaps increase more at the close of the Ms. It is written throughout in black ink. The marginal lines are in red ink. The colophons mention the name of the section, with its serial number, some time with the word samāptā: these, though written in black ink, are covered with red chalk. The 19th Dvātrimsikā has a concluding remark thus: rugata tefha FATT [FEAT] TUFT ofa: 1 The total number of Dvātrimśikās in this Ms. is 20 only. The last one is thus concluded: afogatarfafrofit fazifaahti. The copyist's colophon, in red ink, runs thus: श्रीमंगलमाहेश्वरीसुप्रसन्नोस्तु ॥ शकाब्द: १८०६ तारणनामाब्दे मार्गशीर्षकृष्णदशम्यां भृगौ पुण्यपत्तनसमीपे डेक्कनकॉलजविद्यालये माधवीत्युपनाम्ना हरिहरात्मजसदाशिवशर्मणा लेखकेण इदं पुस्तकं लिखितमस्ति ।। ग्रंथसंख्या ॥ ६ ॥ ८४० ॥
This means that this is a copy made at the Deccan College itself in Saka 1806, i.e., 1884. It is not known from what Ms. this is copied.
