The bundle contains the following five works: a [Fragment of a Śaiva theological work] (text A images 0006-0038). Nāmaliṅgānuśāsana (Amarakośa) by Amarasiṃha (f° 22r: svargavarga; f° 27r: dhīvarga; f° 28v: śabdādivarga) (images 0039-0060). Yājñavalkyadharmaśāstra (Yajñavalkya-Smṛti) attributed to Yajñavalkya [the text starts with 2.299; f° 47v: end of 2nd adhyāya; the text ends with 3.187] (images 0061-0087). Harivaṃśa (Śrīkailāsayātrā) [f° 2v: end of 2nd praśna; f° 3r: end of 3rd and 4th praśnas; f° 4r: end of 5th praśna; f° 4v: end of 6th praśna] (images 0090-0099). Followed by Vaiyāsikanyāyamālā by Mādhava-Vidyāraṇya [f° 4r: end of 1.1; f° 6r: end of 1.2; f° 9v: end of 1.3; f° 11r: end of 1st adhyāya; f° 15r: end of 2.1; f° 26v: end of 3.1] (images 0100-0180). All texts are incomplete. Text A, which is severely damaged and fragmentary, starts with a consideration of the metaphysical value of the grammatical persons (prathama, madhyama, uttamapuruṣa). The terminology presents many similarities with Utpaladeva's. The very fragmentary nature of the text prevented, so far, to identify which work could be commented here. The manuscript is damaged.
