Summary

Manuscript is a short treatise on the grammatical structure of Vedic hymns and is considered part of Vedic supplementary literature, the Vedāṅga. Manuscript begins with the fourth chapter of Pāṇini's complete work but likely represents a particular short recension, reconfiguration, or selection of the larger work. A short second supplementary work on astrology called the Vedāṅgajyotiṣa (also called Jyotiṣavedāṅga) is found at the end of the manuscript (f. 7r-10r).
