Description.- Country paper; Devaņågari characters; old in
appearance ; hand-writing bold, clear, legible and uniform ; borders ruled in two double black linos ; red pigment used for marking the portion ; left-hand edges worn out and moth-eaten; folios numbered from I to 63 in the righthand margins but in the left-hand margins the numbering of folios is from si to 183 which indicates that this Ms. may have formed part of some other Ms.; fol. No. I repeated; the first folios seems to be added later as the hand-writing seems to be different ; yellow pigment used
for corrections ; complete.
. The Upanisad belongs to the black Yajurveda Age.- Samvat 1706. The age of the Ms. is not given at the end
but on fol.63' there are a few lines which faintly give the
Sam. 1706. Begins.-fol. 10
