Description. Country paper tough and white; Jaina Devanagari characters; sufficiently big, legible and good hand-writing; borders mostly ruled in three lines and edges in two, in red ink; red chalk used; yellow pigment, too; numbers for foll. entered twice as usual; fol. ra blank; this Ms. contains both the text and the commentary; the former in Prakrit gāthās and the latter in prose, in Sanskrit ; right-hand margins decorated with different diagrams (vide fol. 30b); paper changed for foll. 98 to 172; it is very brittle and grey; edges of the 97th fol. slightly worn out; the 98th and 166th foll. a little bit torn; strips of paper pasted to foll. 99b, 102b, 103b etc.; foll. 101 and 125 badly damaged in the body; fol. 108 torn in two pieces; half the part of the 109th fol. missing; the 110th, 186th and 324th foll. awfully damaged in the body; foll. 112, 127, 185 and 193 about to be divided into two parts; foll. 113 and 114 slightly torn ; a quarter of the portion of fol. 120 lacking as it is torn; several other foll. more or less torn; condition rather poor; illustrative diagrams on fol. 218b; some of the foll. doubly numbered in the right-hand margin, too; sets of numbers vary; fol. 287 is lacking; so are the foll. 312 and 329; foll. 305 to 307 less legible, for it seems that while separating the foll. proper care was not taken; both the text and the commentary practically complete; the latter composed in Samvat 1436 in the city called 'Nṛsamudra'.
The entire work is divided into four adhikaras; the extent of each of them along with the corresponding portion of the commentary is as under:
