Miscellaneous Notes
There is an extra folio at the beginning which records the text title: cāṭuśloka. This text is a compilation of verses pertaining to witty and wise sayings. It seems that this text has been scribed in 5 sections, of which the second section (fol.11-23) bears a title: strīlakṣaṇa and an incomplete line which ends with the word "lakṣaṇa" could located in the beginning of the first section (fol.1 - 10); but no such title could be located in other sections. Few folios at the end are broken, on which the text has been scribed in Tamil
