This fascinating piece of our Indic manuscript collection was featured in the 2015 exhibit *This Book Belongs To…* as part of the Provenance Online Project (POP). The mark of ownership in this particular work is the skin of entire snake! This manuscript titled Triṃśaślokībhāṣya, and was created to provide guidance for Hindu law (dharma) when rites and ceremonies take place to remove impurities from the body.
