Bāraḥkhadī

This five-folio Devanagari manuscript, titled *Bārakhaḍī Chapannā* (बारखडी छपन्ना), is a pedagogical primer from the Sarasvatī Bhāṇḍāra collection, systematically presenting the fifty-six (chapannā) syllabic combinations of the Sanskrit-Hindi alphabet. The text exemplifies traditional Indic scribal conventions, including rubricated double daṇḍas (॥), marginal folio numeration, and a correction box enclosing erroneous akṣaras (ṣī, ṣu, ṣū), while preserving the standard *bārakhaḍī* sequence used for elementary literacy instruction in Rajasthan during the early modern period. Its archival provenance—catalogued under accession numbers 3157 and 3356 at the Rājasthān Prācya Vidyā Pratiṣṭhāna, Jodhpur—attests to its significance within documentary histories of vernacular education and paleographic development in western India.
