lines in red ink. For the sake of decoration red lines are drawn on four sides in the corner of each folio. Condition of the Ms. is very good. But it seems that the copyist was not well-versed in Sanskrit Language. On account of this, we find many orthographical errors. Short and long ovals are not given proper care. Verse numbers are not correctly given, some times two verses are written collectively and only one number is given for both. For example, verses 4 and 5 are written together and only no. 4 is given to both. Some times, tha copyist has written first line from one verse and second line from arother and put collectively one number. On account of these mistakes we find in this Ms. only 310 verses, though, there are in all 313 verses with commentary.
