This manuscript was part of the private collection of H. T. Colebrooke, who then presented it to the East India Company Library in 1819 (Rocher & Rocher 2012, 139). It is now held in the India Office collection at the British Library. The manuscript extends from the beginning of the Jātisamuddeśa to the end of the Kriyāsamuddeśa. The writing is very neat and legible, boxed in by a carefully rendered red, yellow, and black border. Corrections have been made using yellow paste. The manuscript has been bound into book form. The colophon dates it to the third month of saṃvat 1862 (1805 CE).
