This seems to be a shorter version of the work, the first four chapters containing respectively 70, 75, 84 and 86 verses instead of 67, 78, 130 and 114 in the printed editions. What is called chapter 5 in the present MS (Fol. 17A-18A) is constituted by verses taken from chapter 3 of the printed editions. Twenty-eight verses without any colophon occurring after the conclusion of the fifth chapter deal with the nādīs, siddhis and characteristics of Yoga. Short explanatory notes are found with some of these verses. The fourth chapter (Fol. 16B-17A) quotes extracts from works of others (e.g. Saubhadra and Visvarūpācārya).
