33. Ibid., fig. 11 on p. 73 depicts Mt. Meru, The last line of the explanatory notes at the bottom ends with "Matargräma". It apparently refers to the place name i. e. Matar village where this Samgrahani was copied and illustrated. Place name has been found included in the explanatory notes in many other Samgrahanis too. It appears to be an ethical code of conduct practised by scribes at such occasions whenever they had fallen short of the text; the place name was included to complete the line. The Matar Samgrahaṇī dated A. D. 1583 also shows a similar practice being followed. Whatever may have been the true reasons behind this idiosyncrasy of the scribe, it turns out to be of immense value; for it definitely provides information on the provenance of the manuscript especially when the colophon of the manuscript, is either lost or is silent about this.
