Manuscript Features
On its cover-leaf (exp. 2-3) this MS has been mistakenly labelled mayūracitra and was thus taken to be an astrological text.
The writing on fols. 1v- 2r as well as smaller portions and single akṣaras on other fols. have been overwritten by a later hand.
The writing on fols. 2v-3r has been partly rubbed off.
In addition to the 68 folios of the text proper there are two more folios containing an index of verses (ślokapañjikā).
After the colophon there is another verse in the sragdharā metre, written by another hand, praising the Sūryaśataka, its author Mayūra, and the benefits gained by reading it.
