Physical Description
Hand(s)
Devanāgarī.
the name of the second hand is given on f. 164: liṣitaṃ Amadāvādamadhye rājapuramāṃhe vaidyanīpolavāstavyam ity udicyasahasrajñātīmetārāma-caṃdrātmajakṛṣṇacaṃdena | ābhyaṃtaravṛddhanagarā-nāgarabrāhmaṇacīraṃjīvivohorāśrīharīrāmasutajoitā-rāṃmasya gṛhe putrapautrādipaṭhanārthaṃ vānyeṣāṃ paropakārāya paṭhanārtham idaṃ pustakaṃ likhitam iti | The owner, Harīrāma, has written his name in a very careless hand on f. 164v and on f. 1, in the latter case with the date: saṃvāt 1787 ⟨1731⟩ vaiśā. kṛ. di. 10 guru | On f. 164v are the usual remarks of the scribe, to which others have been added by a later hand. A yet later hand gives trº-veṇīrāma as owner.
History
though written by different hands, there is no reason to suppose that the two parts are of different dates. The date in the handwriting of the second scribe is given on f. 164: svasti saṃvat 1786 ⟨1730⟩ varṣe vaiśāṣamāse kṛṣṇapakṣe pratīpadā budhavāre saṃpūrṇa |
