In preparing the present edition of Karakandacariu the editior has fully collated four MSS. (DJNS) and has consulted one recent MS (J2). They are as follows:
MS. D
This ms. is deposited in Baba Dulichand's Bhandar in the Terapanthi Digamhara Jaina temple of Jaipur. It was collated on the spot. Teaves 61; size 10" × 43"; lines per page 12; letters per line about 37; margin right and left 17". top and bottom 7. Leaves No. 12 and 60 as well as 62 on which the colophon was obviously contimue are missing. The incomplete colophon is as follows:—
