154 leaves; 3 to 4 lines to a leaf; 45 to 50 letters to a line. Description. Palm-leaf somewhat thick and durable; Jaina Devanagari characters with gears; big, quite legible, uniform and beautiful hand-writing; this Ms. presents an appearance of the work as written in two separate columns but really it is not so since the line of the 1st column is continued in the 2nd column; borders of each of the columns ruled in three lines in black ink; leaves numbered in both the margins: in the right-hand margin as ?, 2, etc. and in the left-hand mostly as in the case of other palm-leaf (Jaina) Mss.; red chalk used; there is a hole in the space between the two columns; leaf 1 blank; it is preceded by an extra blank leaf; the last leaf is followed by an extra blank leaf; incomplete ; this work seems to be divided into 6 parvans at least. Age.- Fairly old.
