Size. 93 in. by 4 in.
Extent. 347+5=352 folios; 13 lines to a page; 35 letters to a
Bharatesvara-Bahubalisvādhyāya with Kathakośa
Description. Country paper rough, tough and white, Jaina Devanagari characters; sufficiently big, legible and tolerably good hand-writing; borders ruled in two pairs of lines in black ink; red chalk used; yellow pigment also; foll. numbered in the right-hand margin only; six foll. numbered as 172; the sixth 172a practically blank; only half a line is written on it; fol. 1 blank; edges of the first fol. slightly damaged; a careless attempt to separate the 68th and 69th foll. which must have stuck together owing to the presence of gum, has led to their tearing and thus damaging the Ms. ; similar is the case with foll. 121 and 122; condition on the whole good; the text complete so far as the 1st verse is concerned; fagar is complete; the narrative that follows viz. that of Śrimati not complete; so Kathakośa thus ends abruptly, and that there is no colophon. Age.- Pretty old.
