Notes

• Title from internal colophon (f. 364r).
   
• Written in 8-17 lines per leaf.
   
• 501 leaves foliated [Part 1] 18-29; [Part 2] 1-19, 49-150, [151-177], 178-258, 257-284, [285-299], 300, [301-349], 350, [351-363], 364; [Part 3] 1-127, [128-148], 150, [151-152], 153, lower right verso.
   
• Internal colophon: iti śivabhaṭṭasutasatīgarbhajanāgojībhaṭṭakṛte laghuśabdaiṃduśekhare pūrvārddhasamāptim agamat // [saṃvat] 1890 rāmovijapatetarām . . . (f. 364r).
   
• Dated saṃvat 1890 (1837) (f. 364r); the "saṃvat" is not stated in the manuscript, but the work was acquired by the University of Pennsylvania before the possibility of it being the śaka designation, which would make it 1968 A.D., and thus the manuscript must be from 1837 A.D.
   
• Mistakes covered over in yellow or blacked out; some corrections and additions in margins; significant syllables, words, or phrases highlighted in red throughout.
   
• Non-Latin script record.
