Miscellaneous Notes
This transcript is copied fram a MS with No. 24707 belonging to Sarasvatībhavanam, Varanasi. This transcript consists of 3 bundles. The pages of the bundles are different in size. Bundle -1 contains 707 pages, bundle -2 contains 514 pages, bundle -3 contains 426 pages. The page numbers of this text are not continuous; rather each stauma (text-division) contains continuous page numbers. The 4th stauma (p. 123 onwards) is repeated. There are many numbered blank pages in this text (eg.bundle 3 p. 240 and pp. 132 - 138, bundle 2 p. 229 ) and there are repetitions of page numbers (eg. P. 1of bundle - 1 etc.). Because of the huge body of the text and haphazard pagination the information provided under the heading ' Range of folios in text ' is inaccurate
