Jaina Literature and Philosophy
[131.
Description.- Country paper very thin, tough and white; Jaina Devanagari characters with frequent ears; this is a पञ्चपाटी Ms. containing the text and its commentary ; the former written in small, quite legible, uniform and good hand-writing, same is practically the case with the latter except that it is written in smaller hand-writing: borders ruled in three lines in red ink; numbers for the verses and their dandas written in red ink; foll. numbered in the righthand margin; in the centre of the numbered and unnumbered sides as well, there is some space kept blank ; sometimes the central portion of each of the margins is also kept blank ; at times these blank spaces are decorated ; e.g. the marginal portion on fol. 6b decorated with a nandyāvarta; complete so far as the first six padas are concerned; the text ends abruptly with a portion of v. 87 of the 3rd canto ; condition very good except that edges of a few foll. partly gone.
Age.— Pretty old.
