Description.- Country paper; Devanāgari characters; hand-writing
good. Foll. I-18 are in a very good hand, but after this the writing becomes bad and is written by a different person. Benedictory phrases, topic-headings and topicendings, marks of punctuation, verse numbers and colophons are in red ink. Borders have double rows of two lines each (in red ink) on each side. Upto fol. 189, between each pair of rows there is a thick yellow line. The Ms. is written in Prakrta Gathas. It is very difficult to know the name of the author. Paper is very old, soiled, musty, broken on edges and oily on the left-hand side.
Age.- Appears to be very old. Author.- Anonymous. Begins.—- fol. 1b
