Begins - fol. 11a
अधुना तपोविषये सनत्कुमारमहर्षेः कथानकं ॥ इहैव भरते कुरुदेशे हस्तिनापुरं नाम नगरं । तत्र अश्वसेनो नाम राजा ।
सहदेवी नाम तत्पत्नी । अन्यदा चतुर्दशस्वप्नसूचितोऽतीव रुपवान्
सनत्कुमारनामा पुत्रोऽभूत् ॥ etc. Ends - fol. 120
कित्वं तरंगरोगाणां वैद्यों कथयत् । तत् च वयं न जानीम ।
मुनिना उक्तं । एतत्प्रतीकारं महमपि जानामि । एका गलितां अंगुली श्लेष्मणा सह विलिप्य पुनर्नवीकृता।
प्रशंसां कृत्वा देवी स्वस्थाने गतौ । एवंविधं तपः संपूर्ण विधाय राजर्षिस्तृतीयदेवलोके गतः।
हति तपोविषये सनत्कुमारराजर्षिकथानकं ॥ N. B. - It seems that this MS. is not noted in Jinaratnakosa. Vol. I.
