15. K. This is a paper MS. belonging to the Rajasthan Puratattvanveshan Mandir, Jodhapur and it bears the number 6731. It has 66 folios. Some of these folios are damaged at the left margin. The folios are numbered in the margin on the b-side of the folio. The office has stamped every page on the margin on the b-side of the folio with a circle-stamp bearing the letters 7.9.. This MS, is incomplete. The folio numbers are from 177 to 242. The folios are written on both the sides.
The MS, measures 29.5 x 13.5 cms. Each page has ten or eleven lines and each line has about 39 to 45 letters. It is all written in black ink. However the marginal lines, Dandas, colophons, titles, numbers of the verses etc. are in red ink.
The writing is fair and the style of writing is sufficiently uniform. Some letters like V and B, Dhy and Vy, C and V, U and Au are mutually confused. As a rule, the copist uses Anuswär and not Parasavarna. Sometimes the Dandas are unnecessarily given in the commentary.
The MS. opens thus : fosa fa la grqe...etc. and ends thus : 8€ la सर्वेषु भूतेषु त्रिःप्रकारः आत्मा व्यव

Excepting the first and the last folios, other are written on both the sides. Every page has got about 13 lines and every line 40 to 44 letters. The MS. is written in black ink. The marginal lines and Dandas are in red ink. Red powder is used to spot the colophons of the chapters and yellow paste is used to cover the unwanted letters.
This MS. contains interleaniar notes giving explainatory equivalents of difficult words. The number of notes is pretty large and they are writren in the middle of two lines or in the margin. The hand-writing is good. In conjuncts if r is the first member the consonant is double. Anuswär is written for Parasavarna. Some letters like v-b, s-s, Dv-Ddh, Ş-kh are mutually confused. The MS. opens thus : &ll starsair H: 11 Tatsac...and ends thus:
