Summary

Commentary (ṭīkā) highlighting a portion of the Bhagavadgītā, beginning with chapter 2 verse 14 and ending with chapter 15 verse 19. Manuscript opens with a blessing to the gurus. Interprets the conversation between the Hindu deity Kṛṣṇa and prince Arjuna as told through the Bhagavadgītā and deals with, among other things, the nature of the senses and mental detachment from them. The source text (i.e., the Bhagavadgītā) is not given in full. Manuscript lacks a colophon though appears to be complete, having both title pages at the beginning and end.
