The bundle contains two copies of the (Bhagavadgītā-)Gūḍārthadīpikā by Madhusūdana Sarasvatī: adhyāyas 1-4 (f° 13r: end of 1st adhyāya (end of adhyāyas 2 and 3 could not be idenified); f° 141v: end of 4th adhyāya); and adhyāyas 5-7 (f° 0r to 24r: 5th adhyāya; f° 24r to 85v: 6th adhyāya; f° 85v to 102v: 7th adhyāya) (part A images 0005-0289; part B images 0290-0494). Both texts are incomplete. The manuscript is in good condition. Part A contains an elaborate colophon with invocation to Narasiṃha, to the gurus; iti iṭṭuṇṇāṉ kaiyeḻuttu. Akṣaraṃ yat paribhraṣṭaṃ (…) invocation to Tiruvārppu Kṛṣṇa, and a date Kollam 1079 (= 1903 AD), 25 kuṃbham. The invocation to Tiruvārppu Kṛṣṇa might suggest that the manuscript belonged originally to the collection of the Tekke Maṭham branch in Tiruvārppu.
