- Title:
- Harivaṃśa
- Scope & Content:
- This text is believed to be a khila (appendix or supplement) to the Mahabharata and is traditionally ascribed to Veda Vyasa. It is divided into three parvans (chapters) namely Harivaṁśaparvan, Viṣṇuparvan and Bhaviṣyaparvan. This ms begins with a folio numbered as 7. Therefore, 1st to 6th folios are missing. 61st folio is again erroneously numbered as 60 and folios after it are numbered after 60. Thus each folio after the first 60 bears one mark less than its original number. Following this pagination folio no. 112 is again erroneously numbered as 111. Thus each folio after the first 111 bears two marks less than its original number. Following this pagination folio no. 123 is again erroneously numbered as 122. Thus each folio after the first 122 bears three marks less than its original number. Following this pagination folio no. 140 is marked as 130. 148th and 149th folios are missing. Date of original material: 2nd-5th century CE (probable). Extent and format of original and physical characteristics: 145 Folios; Incomplete MS. No colophon found.; Extremely fragile. The original size of the folios are 49X12 cm. Author: Kṛṣṇa Dvaipāyana Vedavyāsa
