The author, Someśvara Bhaṭṭa, son of Mādhava Bhaṭṭa, might have lived in the 12th century (Mishra 1964: 42, Verpoorten 1987: 38).

Important parts of the text are missing, especially towards the end of the manuscript, which looks globally inaccurate. No indication on the scribe is available. This manuscript was most probably part of a collection, together with Add.1709<\/a>, Add.1710<\/a> and Add.1711<\/a>, as they share many common features: paper and layout are identical, and on the first folio of the present manuscript a catch number (13) is written. <\/p>"
