History

Origin: after 1810

f. 15: śāke ’gnidīrghāsyaṣaḍekamāne pustam svapāṭhāya lilekha yatnāt | natvā mahādevapadāraviṃdaṃ ko ’pi dvijaḥ Śābdabhedaprakāśaṃ ǁ This is explained in the margin: śakābdāḥ 1683 ⟨1761⟩ | This proves that this MS. is, with India Office 1334a, a transcript from one original. How the Bodl. catal. gets ‘post annum 1810’ is not clear, büt it must be approximately correct.
