This transcription is based on a black and white facsimile of the manuscript held in Delhi University Library. Due to the poor quality of the facsimile, some readings remain unclear. The facsimile begins on the recto side of the second folio, near the beginning of the Jātisamuddeśa until the end of the Kriyāsamuddeśa on folio 341. This manuscript seems to be based on at least two archetypes. Many corrections have been made — possibly by a different hand — which transmit readings which are common to manuscripts M and P, whereas the ante correctionem readings are preserved in manuscript L. These corrections have, in turn, been transmitted to manuscripts K and V, which seem to be based on D. In addition, some avagrahas have been added in the interlinear space to clarify certain negative words and compounds. The corrections are thoughtful and learned, and show an active engagement with the text. Up to the fifth folio, nuktas have been added to "ya" and "dya" characters to distinguish them from "pa" and "dpa".
