Haribhadra lived in the 800s, and the final remarks to his commentary on the Ratnagunasamcaya-gatha were copied at the end of this manuscript. The Ratnagunasamcaya-gatha distills the teaching of the Sanskrit Perfection of Wisdom into Prakrit verses. The left corner of this page was repaired using yellow-colored Nepalese paper, indicating the importance of keeping the manuscript whole.
