(1) f. 9: likīātaṃ trº-śrīkṛṣṇasutabālakṛṣṇa | (2) f. 116v: likhitaṃ travāḍīśrīkṛṣṇaisutahālakṛṣṇa | (3) f. 147v: Ukhītaṃ travāḍīśrīkṛṣṇasutavālakṛṣṇasyedaṃ pustakaṃ | Bhaṇavāmāṭhe lakhīche svārthaṃ ca parārthaṃ ca Vārāṇaśīmadhye | But here again these particulars most probably refer to the scribe of the original, or to the patron.

History

Origin: A. D. 1756?

(1) on f. 116v is written: saṃº 1812 ⟨1756⟩ adhīkajyeṣṭavadī 2 bhome | (2) on f. 147v is written: adhikajeṣṭavadi budhavāre saṃvat 1812 | But the appearance of the MS. forbids the possibility of this being its date; it must be the date of the original, and the copy was probably made about a. d. 1840.
