Description

The manuscript is composed of a text containing 73 palm leaves numbered between 3 and 199; there are 5 additional leaves numbered from 14 to 19. The leaves, which were very disordered and dirty, are extremely damaged. The text concerns the Rāmāyaṇam (epic literature), but a version which is different from that written by Vālmīki. The text, in the form of dialogue in Telugu language, is written in Tamil scripts. It is likely to have been written by Naṉṉayyā Kavi.
