This manuscript is held at the Alwar branch of the Rajasthan Oriental Research Institute. It formed part of the library of the Mahārāja of Alwar, which was catalogued by Peter Peterson in the late 19th century. As Peterson notes, the collection originated with Banni Singh (Peterson 1884, 3), who ruled Alwar in the first half of the 19th century. The manuscript extends from the beginning of the Jātisamuddeśa until near the end of the commentary on the Kriyāsamuddeśa, breaking off just a few sentences before the end. The manuscript does not seem to be complete. There are a few peculiarities to this scribal hand – ma is often written as nya, and rā as śa. These have been noted with the <g> tag.
