Description-Country paper; Devanagari characters; handwriting
legible; paper very old, much worn out and very musty.. .
A small treatise in 102 verses, based upon Nirmayasindhu dealing with tithis in the month by Nāgadeva, son of Siva and author of Acāradipa (see No. 85/1882-83). The work is referred to by Aufrecht, Kane and B. B. R. A. S. Cat..as Nirnayatattva; hence I have changed the name from Tithinirnayatattvasaṁgraha. According to Kane he should be placed earlier than 1450 A. D.
Age-Appears to be very old.
