A citation to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's catalogue entries for individual folios attributed to the Master of the Devasano Pado Kalpasutra, cross-checked against general art historical scholarship on Jain manuscript painting (the Metropolitan Museum's own published essay on the subject, and academic writing on Western Indian Kalpasutra illustration). Its strength is a directly examined institutional catalogue record for specific surviving folios. Its limit is that no single source consulted supplies a complete accounting of every one of the manuscript's original 201 folios or their present individual locations.
