Grammar
Description - The Ms. is written on palm leaves in bold and careful
Devanagari characters with पृष्ठमात्राs. The leaves are well preserved except for the fact that they are slightly wormeaten especially towards the end. As usual there is a blank space in the centre, with a whole meant for the string. Red tilaka marks in the centre and in the margins; red chalk frequently used. The writing on the first and the last leaves is so faded as to be hardly legible. The leaves are numbered with numerical figures on the right and with letters on the left-hand side. In both the ordinary and the syllabic notations, fol. 114 is numbered twice and fol. 116 omitted. Fol. 214 is absent altogether. Complete to the end of the आख्यात section.
Age --Fron general appearance as well as the method of numbering
the pages the Ms. is at least 450 years old.
