It was copied for a layman of Baklaivala family of the Khandelavala caste, a resident of Taksakapura ( Taxila ), in the kingdom of the Solamki king Ramacandra. He had for his spiritual guidance, the following line of teachers :-- Mulasamgha, Nandi-amnaya Balatkaragana, Sarasvatigaccha, Kundakundanyaya Padmanandi Subhacandra Jinacandra Prabhacandra Dharmacandra ( To whom the MS. was presented ). It will be seen that this carries the line given in the colophon of MS. C, two successions further. The MS. agrees in its peculiarities with A and bears glosses like it on the margin. But it has all those additional lines that are found in E. These are mostly given in the margin. It even gives a few lines peculiar to it alone. MS. E. This MS. is deposited in Baba Dulicanda's Bhandara in Jaipur and belongs to that section of the collection which was acquired from Sarganer Bhandara. Leaves 55; size 101/ "X41/4"; lines per page vary from 13 to 15; letters per line about 35. It bears the following colophon : सं० 1519 जेष्ठ वदि 12 चंद्रे // आदौ // जेष्ठ सुदि 5 // गुरौ संपूर्ण भवत् // वागर देसे। झंझणग्रामनगा श्रीआदीश्वरवरचैत्यालये। सरस्वतीगच्छे श्रीमूलसंघे लंवेचू बुढेले गोत्रे लिखितं पंडित सा. महराज चौधरी सा. भीषमसुत / कर्मक्षयनिमित्तं // संकोडियकरचरणा, etc. From this we learn that the MS. was begun on the 12th of the dark fortnight and completed on the 5th of the bright fortnight of Jyestha in Samvat 1519, equivalent to 1462 A. D. in the Adisvara temple at Jhunajhunu in Vagara country, by one Pandit Maharaja Caudhari son of Bhisama, of Vuchele family of Lamvecu caste. This MS. is the most interesting of all, as it is the oldest and has many features that distinguish it from the rest. 1. It has ण instead of न throughout. 2. It shows a great partiality for sin preference to g in the absolute forms and the seventh case-ending e.g. वंदिवि, सुणिवि, चित्ति, मज्झि, etc. P.P.AC. Gunratnasuri M.S. Jun Gun Aaradhak Trust
