F. la contains some additional texts in Bengali popularly called as 'Khanārvacana' or 'Saying of Khanā'. The text contains 37 verses, last verse bearing no verse number.
Although the Colophon of this MS. mentions its name as 'Amrtamanjarī, yet the text appears to be verbatively same as that of 'Ajirņamanjari' and the name of the author of these two MSS. appears to be the same i.e. 'Kāśirāja'. However there may be difference of names, but the text is the same. The Colophon of this MS. gives an additional Information that this text belongs to another ayurvedic compendium called Yogaratnākara. This however does not correspond to a second MS. of 'Amrtamanjari' (G-6908), where it is not mentioned. Beginning :
