| a1 | blood, skin, outer skin, and hair, I will restore, exactly like before. The fourth says: |
|---|---|
| a1+ | And I will make him living again. |
| a2+ | Thereupon, wishing to know their respective skills directly, going close one after the other, they went into another ravine of the Himavant-mountain. |
| a3 | Therein they first saw a lion’s bones fallen apart. |
| a3+ | (Immediately) one of them spoke [a charm] over water in the palm of his hand, |
| a4 | merely sprinkled it over the bones [and] immediately, the bones, || In the Ñ.-tune: || |
| a5 | having fallen down scattered far away on the mountain Lokāloka among the rocks, even from the deep they came out, as if flying, they came together, |
| a5+ | the ones separated miles [from each other]; according to the wish they all joined [and] fully and completely the king of animals, made of bones, came into being. |
| a6+ | Thereupon the second spoke a charm over the water |
| a6+ | || In the Ṣ.-tune: || |
| b1 | and sprinkled it over the bones [and] immediately the bones were joined with sinews. |
| b1+ | The third then fully remade him the bones with flesh, blood, outer skin, and hair. |
| b2+ | [And] at that moment it looked as if it were a motionless Kesara lion, lying asleep. |
| b3+ | All four feethe had folded up |
| b4 | and hidden between his sides; lying on the right side, his head placed toward the left paw; |
| b4+ | the ears, provided with hair on their tips, he let hang a little, |
| b5 | but the mane he directed upwards; only life made him different from a living, sleeping lion. 1 || |
| b5+ | thereupon the fourth sprinkled water over him with a blowpipe (?): |
| b6 | immediately, stretching his paw and yawning, from [his] bed he rose, |

| a3 | Darin erblickten sie zerfallene Löwenknochen. (Schmidt 1974: 188) |
| a3+ | (Sofort) besprach der eine in [seiner] Handfläche Wasser [und] spritzte [es] nur auf die Knochen, [und] sogleich die Knochen, || (Im) [Versmaß] Ñikci paṇḍurā ... || [die] weit weit auseinander auf dem Berge in die Felsen gefallen [waren], sogar aus der Tiefe kamen sie hervor - als ob sie flögen [wtl. gleichsam hüpfend], kamen sie zusammen. Die meilenweit (getrennten) fügten sich alle nach Wunsch, [und] voll [und] ganz kam in Knochen bestehend der König der Tiere zustande. Darauf besprach der zweite ... (Wasser) [und] spritzte [es] über die Knochen, [und] sofort fügten sich die Knochen mit Sehnen zusammen. (Schmidt 1974: 228, 466-7, 491-2, 493) |
| b1+ | Der (dri)tte indessen stellte ihm eben die Knochen mit Fleisch, Blut, Fell(?) [und] Haar voll [und] ganz [wieder] her. (Schmidt 1974: 495) |

| b6+ | Sofort erhob er sich von [seinem] Lager, mit gähnen die Tatze streckend, [und] hungrig [und] durstig erblickte er die Kunstfertigen, die sich in [seiner] Nähe befanden, [und] eben sie alle vier zusammen(?) mit der Pranke zermalmend, tötete er sie alle und fraß sie auf. (Schmidt 1974: 188) |
