DETAILED ACCCUNT OF THE MANUSCRIPTS
This manuscript belongs to the Department of Gujarati, Faculty o! Arts, M.S. University of BARODA and bears no. 82. It is dated V.S. 1465 (C. A. D. 1409); written in Devanagarl characters, throughout in Prsthamātrās, on thick, sticky, durable county paper, 10.75 X 4.4 inches in size, with side margins of 1.2 inches and a space of 0.6 inches left out at the top as well as the bottom, It consists of 10 folios, the first gones having 14 lines to a page and about 42 letten to a line, and the last one possessing 13 lines to a page and about 41 letters to a line. Marging are marked with a thick red line drawn between two thin black lines. The folio-numbers are written at the bottom of the right margin on the reverse of each folio. Each page has a square or oblong space left out in the middle varying in size from 1.1" to 1.5", which contains an illuminatory red orb of about 0.4" radius. On the reverse of each folio the side margins also contain similar but somewhat smaller orbs. This is a peculiarity of early paper Mss. in imitation of the palm leaf ones. The middle orb has a small hole through which a thin string would pass as is the practice for palm-leaf manuscripts.
There are three cases of marginal additions of letters left out while copying, five of supra lineam and two of infra lineumt ones, all propria mans. At one place (folio 7b, line 11) the letters 'nathaprasade' are repeated in the right margin, not in lysthamātrās, evidently with the intention of removing confusion of the original writing, propria manu. The top-space on the last page contains the following remark, secunda manu:
