Scope and Contents
An Abridgment of the Pūrānāratha Parakāsa Shāstra, an exposition of the Hindu chronology and cosmogony, and of their Shāstras, of which the original in Sanskrit is by Pandit Birdhāī Rādhākanta Tarka. The translation was completed by Zūrāwar-Singh at the desire of the Governor-General of India Warren Hastings (d. 1818).
Dated the Faṣlī year 1192 (see dating for A.H. and C.E. equivalents).
In the same hand as, and bearing very similar physical features to, Or Mss 327 and 329. It is highly likely that all three manuscripts are of shared origin and production history.
