The name suggests that the manuscript deals with mathematical practices. It may be related to Sara Sangraha Ganitamu. May also be an incomplete copy of Sara Sangraha Ganitamu, particularly the chapter book/called Trirashikamu which deals with rule of three. These needs to be ascertained through closer examination.

Likely a copy of Sara Sangraha Ganitamu by Pavuluru Mallana. We have three other manuscripts of the same title in our collection. The text is considered to be a adaptation of Gaṇitasārasan̄graha by Mahaviracharya into Telegu by Pavaluru Mallana. The text also describes the system of weights, measures, and coinage used in Andhra in that era. The manuscript needs to be closely examined.
