MS Pune BORI 319-1899-1915

Country paper; thick, rough, and greyish; Devanāgarī characters; handwriting large, clear and legible, but not uniform; borders ruled with two double black lines; no punctuation marks; most foll. are discoloured; the title of this work cannot be found in the text; the original description of this work cannot be found in the text; the original description of this Ms. in the “Lists of Mss. collected for the Government Mss. Library” p. 45 is as follows:

Granthāṅka: 319; Graṇthanāma: Tattvakaustubha; Kartṛnāma: Bhaṭṭojidīkṣita; Patrāni: 84; Śreṇayaḥ/Akṣarāṇi: 11/48; Lipikālaḥ: saṃ. 1831

Now our Ms. here consists of 4 parts, two of which are incomplete and together give us 47 + 18 + 9 + 6 = 80 foll.; evidently 4 foll. are missing; the Mss. described by Mad. Cat. IX, Nos. 4583-4 (pp. 3417-18) do not enlighten us on this part : for the present it is classed with another fragment with the two identifiable sections C and D of Ms. 319 of 1899-1915, under the same title; this Ms. consists of 55 finished verses with a commentary criticising Madhva and ends abruptly while commenting on the 55th verse.
