397, f. 282v: likhitam idaṃ Vārāṇasyāṃ Ṭhakkuranaṃdarāmeṇa ābhyaṃtaranāgarajñātīyatripā-ṭhīśrīsadāśivātmajatripāṭhīśivadattena likhāpito ’yaṃ graṃthaḥ | svārthaṃ parārthaṃ ca | It is doubtful if the Bodl. catal., p. 379b, is right in simply saying that Śivadatta wrote it for Ṭhakkuranandarāma’s use. The MS. seems to show traces of two different hands, and in any case the names must be transposed.
