Miscellaneous Notes
This bundle contains the same text in two different forms; one is with commentary and another is the text only, both has been paginated separately. The second text of this bundle record the name of the scribe twice(in fol - 59 & [65]) but with different address(see col. Scribe Place). In fact there is no mention of the scribe's name in the first text of this bundle but because of the similar handwriting the same name is assumed as the scribe of this text. This text is scribed with collation at the bottom of each page. The collation is on the basis of 7 MSS named; A - G. The beginning page of this text record the sources of the manuscripts used for collation; reads:"A. Tiruvaduthurai Ms. Which is copied here, B. Red ink - Mylapur Ms. Mr. Viswanath Gurukkal, C. Tirunevely manuscript. Blue ink - Vanbathur mutt, D. Mylapur Viswanath Gurukkal's - Text only, E&F. Tirunavely. Vambattur mutt - Text only, G. Madras museum-ms - Text only." The top right corner of the beginning page record a name, which reads:Dakshinamurti Thambian…? Of Suryanarkoil Ahdinam[Adhinam] 3 -2 - 17", which may be the name of the Pre Owner of this manuscript
