Arkaprakāśaḥ by Rāvana Substance : Country-made paper. Size : 21 X 17 cms, Folios: 1-117. Lines : 13. Letters : 16. Script : Bengali. Condition : Fresh. Extent : Incomplete.
The content of this MS. is same as G-1160 (B). The manuscript is not complete as it abruptly ends in the 8th Śataka, verse no 46.
The printed text from Bombay (published by Mukundarāma with Hindi commentary in 1841 Śakābda) shows that the original text runs upto Sataka 10. The other two manuscripts in the possession of the Asiatic Society (G-1160 (B) and G-10030) also show that the book ends in Sataka 10.
