The bundle contains a very rare Advaita-Vedānta work - the Saṃkṣepaśārīrakasaṃbandhokti by Vedānanda, disciple of Vedādhyakṣa, which is still unpublished. According to Thangaswami, the author hails from Śāmbarakṣetra (Kanyākumārī). The ascription of the author to the 16th century seems to be based on Dasgupta. The Saṃkṣepaśārīrakasaṃbandhokti is his only known work. There is one stray leaf with a fragment from Prācīnaśaṅkarajayasārasaṃgraha in the bundle. The text is complete - it is divided into 4 adhyāyas: f° 103v: end of 1st adhyāya; f° 144r: end of 2nd adhyāya; f° 211v: end of 3rd adhyāya; f° 222v: end of 4th adhyāya.
