This bundle contains a fragment of Prakāśātman's classical commentary on the Pañcapādikā, called Vivaraṇa. (see also under B-0012). The beginning and end of the text are missing. 18 folios are missing at the beginning, which makes it likely that the text starts in the middle of the first book (varṇaka); the end of the text is missing in unknown proportions (images 0008-0141), and a collection of fragments of works of Mīmāṃsā on the topic of inference, only some of which could be identified. This part of the bundle contains three fragments of exegetical works (Mīmāṃsā) on the topic of inference (anumāna). Only the third fragment could be identified as the Anumānapariccheda (Section on Inference) of the Prāmāṇapārāyaṇa, generally attributed to the Prābhākara author Śālikanātha, but whose authenticity may be doubted. The first of the three works, whose title could not be determined, has the mention "dvitīyaḥ paricchedaḥ" (second chapter). Extent: 1-19: 1st work (just qualified by dvitīyapariccheda, and starting with the maṅgala vandāmahe paraṃ jyotiḥ, etc.); 19-27v: 2nd work, also on anumāna (no rubric); 27v-29: Pramāṇapārāyaṇa (ascribed to Śālikanātha), anumānapariccheda. (images 0142-0199). Prakāśātman's text, preceded by a blank leaf, is incomplete, with 18 folios missing in the beginning and the end also missing. In the second part, f° 1-19 contain a first work (just qualified by dvitīyapariccheda, and starting with the maṅgala vandāmahe paraṃ jyotiḥ, etc.); f° 19-27v contain a second work, also on anumāna (no rubric); f° 27v-29 contain the Pramāṇapārāyaṇa, generally ascribed to Śālikanātha, anumānapariccheda.
