Physical Description

Devanāgarī.
the writer of 1 is given on f. 42v: śrīviśā-lanāgarajñāñyatrīpāṭhīgovarddhanasutatriº- harihareṇa likhitaṃ | Vīreśvaraviśvanāthasomeśvaraśukadevādiputrāṇāṃ Ratneśvararāmadevādipautrāṇāṃ cādhyayanārthaṃ paropakārārthaṃ ca | The Bodl. catal., l. c., omits Vīreśvara probably by an oversight.
For 2 the scribe is given on f. 174v | likhitaṃ Gamoḍhajñātīyatripāṭhidhaneśvarapuruṣottama | This, in conjunction with MS. Wilson 380, disproves the emendation proposed in the Bodl. catal., p. 378b.
For 3 we have on f. 182v: Dhaneśvarapuruṣottama idaṃ |
History
for 1 the date is given on f. 42v: saṃvat 1700 (= a. d. 1644, Bodl. catal., p. 378a, gives 1654 by an oversight) 15 mārgaśukla 12 bhṛgau | What 15 refers to is not clear. Perhaps it is 1715 = a. d. 1659.
For 2 the date of writing is given on f. 174v: saṃvat 1816 (= a. d. 1760) varṣe vaiśākhamāse kṛṣṇapakṣe amāvāsyā bhomavāsare | The date of accentuating is given on f. 174: saṃº 1818 (= a. d. 1762) varṣe pauṣamāse kṛṣṇapakṣe caturdaśi caṃdravāsare svaritaṃ |
3 is by the same hand, and doubtless of much the same date as 2.
