Summary

Manuscript is employed for consultation or teaching and is a grammatical commentary on Bhaṭṭojī Dīkṣita's Siddhāntakaumudī, particularly emphasizing religious aspects or qualities of traditional grammatical treatises as well as elevating the ancient grammarians such as Pāṇini and Patāñjali to a semi-divine status. Manuscript lacks a beginning.

Notes

• Title from colophon (f. 185r).
   
• Written in 9-10 lines per leaf.
   
• 100 leaves foliated 85-172, [i], 173-183, upper left and lower right verso.
   
• Dated saṃvat 1847 (1790) (f. 183r); first section of manuscript (f. 85-136) is in a different hand, the paper is older, and likely is an earlier date than this.
   
• Mistakes blacked out; some corrections and additions in margins; significant syllables, words, or phrases highlighted in red throughout; vertical margins marked with double red or black line.
   
• Folios 137-183 are written in a second scribal hand, and the paper appears to be much newer than the first section of the manuscript (f. 85-136).
   
• Non-Latin script record.
