History

Origin: A. D. 1090(?).

Dr. Hoernle gives 210 Nepal Era = a. d. 1090. The MS. has on f. 30v: samvata [?] 10 śrāvanaśuklapañcamyāṃ somadine likhitaṃ | As the first figure of the date is very like that given as = 300 by Bendall, Buddh. Sansk. MSS., plate IV, perhaps the date is Nepal Era 310 = a. d. 1190. Still it is also sufficiently like the 200 of plate I, 2 to be possibly meant for 200.

Provenance and Acquisition

Bought in 1900 from Dr. A. F. R. Hoernle.
