line. Description.- Country paper rough, tough and white , Jaina Deva
nāgari 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 ist verse is concerned ; fagetyr is complete; the narrative that follows viz. that of Srimati not complete; so Kathākośa
