Gondal Collection formerly of Jivarama Kalidasa

Gujarat Ayurveda University Library
Siglum: G
This MS is described in śrī bhuvaneśvarī pīṭh, goṃḍala – saurāṣṭra:
hasta- likhita granthasūcī; Shri Bhuvaneshwari Pith, Gondal, Saurashtra,
(India). Catalogue & Index of Manuscripts(Goṇḍal: Śrī
Bhuvaneśvarī Pīṭh, 1960), serial number 34, p. 26. The catalogue records the
date of copying the MS as saṃ 1996 (CE 1939/40), and the number of leaves as
37. The late date of copying suggests that Jīvarāma Kālidāsa Śāstri, who
assembled the Gondal MS col- lection, may have had the manuscript copied for
his library from another extant copy. The whole of the Śrī Bhuvaneśvarī Pīṭh
Goṇḍal MS collection was transferred to The Gujarat Ayurvedic University,
Jamnagar, in about 1970, and is now housed there in the university library
block. The manuscript was inspected briefly during a visit to Jamnagar in
1991, and a photocopy was received by Dominik Wujastyk in London in in early
1993. The manuscript does not include drawings or ṭippaṇa.
