The bundle contains the following five works: Chāndogyopaniṣadvivaraṇa (= Chāndogyopaniṣadbhāṣya) by Śaṅkara [f° 11r: end of the first prapāṭhaka; the text ends with a fragment of Śaṅkara's commentary on the 6th adhyāya - this part ends with the commentary on 6.16.3] (images 0005-0071). Kāśikāvṛtti by Vāmana / Jayāditya [from 1.1.21 to 1.3.42, 1.2 ends on f° 19v] (images 0072-0085). Sāmbapañcaśikhā, with an anonymous Sanskrit commentary (the portion covers kārikās 1 to 19 of the work) The commentary clearly differs from the classic commentary by Kṣemarāja. The first verse also differs from the one found in most printed editions of this stotra (images 0086-0148). [Mantras related to Viṣṇu and Rāma] (images 0150-0211). A [Fragment of a Vedāntic sub-commentary] - the text looks like the beginning of a sub-commentary on one of Śaṅkara's Upaniṣadbhāṣyas, though we were unable to identify which one, it starts with a theoretical discussion of the means towards brahmavidyā, jñānakarmasamuccaya and the traditional analysis of the word 'upaniṣad' [niśātayati śithilīkaroti, etc.] (images 0212-0260). Only the text of Sāmbapañcaśikhā, with an anonymous Sanskrit commentary is complete. The manuscript is damaged.
