Single wooden board used to support manuscript. Perforations on either end may have been used for stitching at one time. The name Rāma appears several times as well as a depiction of that deity on the inside facing the manuscript. The title Sūtasaṃhitā written clearly on the center of the board on the side facing the manuscript suggests that it may have, at one time, been the support for another work; its dimensions are about one half centimeter greater than the length of the manuscript and one half centimeter less than the height of the manuscript.

Mistakes covered over in yellow or blacked out; some corrections and additions in margins; significant syllables, words, or phrases highlighted in red throughout; vertical margins marked with quadruple black line.
