Explicit: و اگر اشاره میشود از ذکر آن چاره نیست.
Colophon: به فضلش اتمام یافت ۲۴ ذیحجه سنه ۱۱۴۶ به خط احقر العباد عبدلرحیم روز پنجشنبه
Colophon: Copy completed by ʻAbd al-Raḥīm on Thursday 24 ̲Zī-Ḥijjah 1146 (28 March 1734). The scribe may possibly be the same scribe who copied Delhi Persian 1179 at Shahjahanabad between 1734 and 1739.
