The manuscript dated in the regnal year 8 of the ruler Harivarmadeva is most precious since it is the only hitherto known example of a manuscript actually written and illustrated in the district of Comilla, Southeast Bangladesh, around AD 1100. Most folios were published and analysed by the author in an earlier paper( (1999), but recently three further folios surfaced in a New York auction house which are here published.
