Miscellaneous Notes

There is no colophon to the complete the text but colophons to each sub-titles are there. After folio no- 2 the folios are numbered again from 1 to 8 but numbering is also the endline of folio 2 seems incomplete and folio 3 deals with some differnet matter. So this suggest that it might be written by different scribe in different period. The colophon reads as iti nāṭyaprakaraṇaṃ samāptaḥ ।The beginning verse of this text is from abhinayadarpaṇa of Nandikeśvara. So it suggest that the complete text may be abhinayadarpaṇa, which is entitled as bharataśāstra due to it's dramaturgic subject matter. Folio 11 contains a title as muhurtaratnākara but it is only one folio
