f. 90: likhitaṃ Gamoḍhacāturvedījñātīya-tripāṭhidhaneśvarapuruṣottamena śubhaṃ bhūyāt | tripāṭhiamareśvarapaṭhanārthaṃ |

F. 253v: likhitaṃ Gamoḍhacāturvedījñātīyatripāṭhi-puruṣotmājadhaneśvara śubhaṃ bhuyāt | sutatripāṭhiamareśvarapaṭhanārthaṃ |

F. 261v, probably by a later hand: Puruṣottame Tritradhaneśvarasya idaṃ pustakaṃ |

It is safer to follow f. 90 (cf. too f. 90v) rather than (as in the Bodl. catal., p. 378b) to correct f. 253v into Puruṣottamātmajaº | Apparently Dhaneśvara Puruṣottama were two names of Puruṣottama’s son. Cf. MS. Wilson 376.

History

Origin: A. D. 1761, 1762.

the date for ārcika I is given on f. 90: saṃvat 1817 ⟨1761⟩ varṣe māghamāse kṛṣṇapakṣe 3 tritīyā bhṛguvāsare |

For ārcika II it occurs on f. 253v: saṃvat 1818 ⟨1762⟩ varṣe traitramāse śuklapakṣe 14 caturdasi śanivāsare | There is none for 8, but it is doubtless by the same hand.
