This is the description given by Bühnemann in the introduction (in German) to the her 1982 edition, pp. 8-9.
Low quality photographs of the manuscript, which is therefore difficult to read. Only parts of the manuscript were photographed; the beginning and the end are missing, as well as other folios. The preserved folios are not arranged in order. The numbers given on the margin seem not to correspond to the reconstructed sequence of the folios (for this reason Bühneman did not reproduced them in her edition). The script is Proto-Maithili. The manuscript has several mistakes.

The references to the folios are by number of the glass plate, column, and folio number (counting from the top to the bottom), e.g. IA.2.13 = glass plate IA, colum 2, folio 13.

Rāhula Sāṅkṛtyāyana took pictures of the manuscripts in Tibet
