Miscellaneous Notes
This text contains the story of rāma in 6 sloka-s, each śloka narrating the story of one kāṇḍa, namely bāla to yuddhakāṇḍa. Normally this is known as ṣaṭślokirāmāyaṇa. However this text is printed under the title Cirañjīvirāmāyaṇa in GOML. 70 no. 16, pp. 286-287. But in the printed text, the fifth śloka of this ms. which really relates to the story of sundarakāṇḍais missing and an addtional śloka which is a stotra is found at the end. This śloka is not found in the Ms. On fol. 30a, in the margin we find the title. But the saptarṣirāmāyaṇa printed in GOMS. 70. no. 23 pp. 326-327 in which the śloka narrating rāmāyaṇa story are attributed to the seven sages and which contains 10 śloka is different than this text. There is another work entitled rāmasaptarṣistotram (GOMS. 70. no. 10 pp. 255-257) which contains a stotra of rāma by the seven sages which is also different from this text
