74.] The Svetambaru Narratives
- 99 gone; only a very small part of leaf 352 preserved ; four leaves following leaf 353 have their numbered portion worn out on both the sides : leaf 358 seems to be lacking unless it is somewhere between leaves 353 and 359; the work ends abruptly ; the last leaf in that case is 359. There is one more leaf with its number practically gone. It is therefore difficult to know whether it belongs to this work or not. There are three foll. written on white paper 83 (new), 118 repeated & 160 repeated, almost in a worn out condition ; some portions of leaves 66, 169 (?), 289, 291, 292, 293, 345 & 349 are preserved by wrapping
them in a thick paper ; it is difficult to identify them. Age.- Fairly old. Begins.-- leaf 179
