The volume held in the BORI (call number 29 183), which has no title-page, seems to be just the final 263 pages of this edition: Śrījinabhadraganiksamasramaṇaviracitam Śrīviseṣāvasyakabhāṣyam. p.1-263; 18 x 28 cm. Colophon: iti mulabhāgasahitam Viṣesavasyakabhāṣyamulam samaptam. Pages 1-208 have a vertical border down each side of the page of small repeated dark ovals each containing a figure like a white 'x' with a dot above and below it. From p. 209 onwards this changes to black diamonds with a white ring enclosing a black dot. Occasional footnotes eg. p. 1 "I. 'dārāim' /2 'āvassaya" ... ": p. 262 "1. "thiya' /2. 'gijjho'/..."
