Contents
Summary of Contents: An incomplete paper manuscript of Mathurānātha's Rahasya, a subcommentary on Jayadeva Pakṣadhara Miśra's Tattvacintāmaṇyāloka, in its turn a commentary on Gaṅgeśa's Tattvacintāmaṇi. Śabda. The recto of the first folio is blank. It is bound together with other fragmentary manuscripts under a single shelfmark, however it is most likely a separate manuscript. It corresponds to 209-215 in the Bodleian Library foliation.
