Notes

• Disbound; most pages have extensive old repairs with paper tape around edges, partially obscuring some letters.
   
• Title supplied by cataloger.
   
• The Geldner citation reads as follows (diacritics omitted): S1(= Surat) Yasna with the Sanskrit translation of Neryosangh. Excellent old Ms., of great independence and accuracy. The peculiar style of the writing is not always uniform, it often resembles the ordinary type of script. The scribe appears accordingly to have imitated, but not consistently, the style of writing of the Ms. before him. The first three leaves are wanting; the Ms. begins with asasunam.frauu in Y. 1,6. In Y.26 the antecedent Ms. appears to have had a gap. The Ms. breaks off with azi in Y. 46,19, the rest is lost. The remainder of the Sanskrit translation has been supplied by a hand that is quite modern. The entire Ms. has later been paged with Devanagari numbers; last leaf is 160, 12 1/4; 91/8 in. The Ms. is not bound; the margin is much damaged and patched; the middle of the leaves is well preserved. The owner of the Ms., as I subsequently learned, is the Mobed Mancherji Barzoji Powri.
