Evidence

"MS Indien no. 187... Since the first 55 leaves of the manuscript are missing, one can assume that it originally contained a copy of the Pirayōkavivēkam... it originally represented a deficient approximation of a corpus befitting the six-fold syllabus"

Remarks

This manuscript is preserved in Paris and is missing its first 55 leaves (p. 341, footnote 98). It includes a seventeenth-century text that treats 'col' in a Sanskrit-influenced fashion (p. 341). The missing section likely contained the Pirayōkavivēkam, based on the remaining contents and foliation sequence.
