- This text is in the tradition of Pundit Māṇikya's Newari commentary (Bālabodhinīvivṛti) on the Amarakoṣa. This is seen from typical examples from the vivṛti in the explanation of the third śloka the initial definition of the Amarakoṣa. (See beginning excerpt above.)
- This particular palm leaf manuscript of the Amarakoṣa starts with oṃ namo mañjughoṣāya as in the paper manuscript of B267/9, which is one of the source MSS of the Newari lexicon drawn from the Amarakoṣas.
(See MS as under: http://newari.net). The glossary features are also similar. This indicates that the Amarakoṣa dated NS 662 (A.D.1542) used for the Newari lexicon may be a copy of the present manuscript.
