Notes

• Title from colophon (f. 23v).
   
• Written in 5-8 lines per leaf.
   
• 25 leaves foliated 1-25, upper left and lower right verso.
   
• Dated śaka 1675 (1753) (f. 24r); manuscript's pristine condition suggests that its date is more recent than the mid-18th century. It is more likely from the 19th century, especially given the watermark, uncommon in earlier paper works.
   
• Mistakes covered over in yellow or blacked out; some corrections and additions in margins; significant syllables, words, or phrases highlighted in red throughout; vertical margins marked with double red line.
   
• Watermark of the initials G.B. surrounded by a simple organic, floral design.
