Among the original Sanskrit works composed and compiled by individual authors were Nitikalapalata, a work of polity by Pandit Sahibram, the well known Kashmiri scholar who died in 1872, the Ranviraratnakosa, a legal digest by Pandit Sivasamkara, the vedanta work, Chittapradipa by Kashmiri Pandit Vasudeva, the medical treatise Vishaharatantra by Pandit Ganesh, the astrological hand - book by Lala Pandit and other commentaries were composed in Sanskrit by Pandit Ramchandra of Kashmir. The library collection had commentaries by him on the Matsyapurana,Markandyapurana and Vamnapurana by Pandit Dayaram Shastri besides on the Bhagvadagita and Lingapurana by Pandit Dayaram Shastri also of Srinagar.

According to Stein, the scholars who assisted at various times in translating and compiling included Pandit Damodar (d .1892), Pandit Govind Kaul (d. 1899), Pandit Mahadaba (d .1893) and Pandit Isvara Kaul (d. 1893) . Other scholars whom Stein met during the preparation of the catalogue included Pandit Mukand Ram, Pandit Daya Ram, Pandit Gana Kaula, Pandit Nemo Kak and Pandit Anand Razdan. A miscellaneous collection of transcripts of sevral other Kashmiri texts were made under the superintendence of Pandit Sukharama during the last years of Maharaja. The scribes employed at Jammu in copying the manuscripts for the Temple library were almost exclusively drawn from Kashmir.

Stein further observed that “many of the Jammu manuscripts written by these Kashmirian copyists are excellent specimens of modern Indian calligraphy and from this point of view truly fit for a Royal library. Unfortunately they sometimes however hide under this attractive exterior, a very defective text as a result of careless revision”

Among the numerous manuscripts of Kashmir in the library collection, was Atharvaveda Samhita containing the Paippalada text recension. This unique Bhurja codex was forwarded in 1875 to Professor R. Von Roth who described the same in his paper “Der Atherveda en Kashmir” at the University of Tubingen. A Jammu copy of same was prepared by the order of Maharaja Ranbir Singh prior to the dispatch to Europe of the birch bark original. According to Stein, this original birch codex belonged to or was obtained though Pandit Dayaram Jotshi. During a visit Stein paid to Tubingen in 1894, he was fortunate to see and examine the writings of this rare codex through the kindness of his respected teacher. Commenting on the value of this manuscript Stein observed, “Perhaps it was the most valuable existing Bhurja volume. Judging from what I had seen in Kashmir of Sharada manuscripts, the writing of the codex appeared to me about 800-400 years old”.
