The bundle contains the Bhagavadgītāgūḍhārthadīpikā, Madhusūdana Sarasvatī's commentary on the Bhagavadgītā. The text is incomplete - it comprises 11 adhyāyas out of 18 (f° 0 to 16v: 8th adhyāya; f° 16v to 35r: 9th adhyāya; f° 35r to 48r: 10th adhyāya; f° 48r to 64v: 11th adhyāya; f° 64v to 78v: 12th adhyāya; f° 78v to 91v: 13th adhyāya; f° 91v to 100v: 14th adhyāya; f° 100v to 111r: 15th adhyāya; f° 111r to 122v: 16th adhyāya; f° 122v to 133v: 17th adhyāya; f° 133v to 182v: 18th adhyāya). The colophon mentions Madhusūdana's teacher, Viśveśvara Sarasvatī. Various invocations are found in the end, finishing with an invocation to Kṛṣna in Tiruvārpu. It is therefore possible that the manuscript originally belonged to the manuscripts collection of the Tekke Maṭham's branch in Tiruvārpu (Tekke Maṭham Svāmiyārs have had the ritual obligation to perform puṣpāñjali in the Kṛṣna temple in Tiruvārpu, which is situated next to the Tekke Maṭham's Tiruvārpu branch). The manuscript is dated to 1080 kollam (= 1905 AD), 23 Ciṅṅam. The bundle is in good condition.
