35 * 3.7 Cm. in size, with a label, 'Praśamarativịtti'. It is from Hemacandrācārya Jñana Bhandar, Patan, No-68-2. It contains 300 leaves and it is written in Devanāgari script on both sides of the leaves in black ink. It is a very carefully written Ms. Each side of the leaf has 3-4 lines and about 52-53 words in each line.

But some leaves are missing in this Ms. viz. commentary on verses 309-313. Total mentioned Granthāgra is 2500. It begins with : sto ali afariniai प्रशस्थितेन येन्यं कृता वैगग्यपद्धतिः ।
तस्मै वाचकमुख्याय नमें। भूतार्थदर्शिने ।। and ends with
