Translation
(continues from A 19)
| a1 | After Ānanda having said, So it will be, Arhat! and thereupon had come to the potter, he says: |
|---|---|
| a1+ | || In the C.-tune: || |
| a2 | The Buddha, the master, Śākyamuni, [our] protection and [our] hope, is tormented by sickness from the wind-disease, o Bṛhaddyuti! |
| a2+ | Warm water for bathing and oil of sesame for anointing he requires. |
| a3 | You are trustworthy to the Buddha as one longing for merit, serve him in this. |
| a3+ | by hearing the name of the Buddha on his entire body his hair stood high on Bṛhaddyuti. |
| a4+ | Quickly, quickly he arose from his bed and (with tears) in [his] eyes and hands folded he says with great reverence to Ānanda: |
| a5 | speak, speak, o worthy Ānanda |
| a6 | (Who is he that) is called (Buddha?) || In the A.-tune: || I heard the name of the Buddha; my mind felt longing for virtue |
| b1 | (and my) heart (is filled) with joy [in thinking]: |
| b1+ | The Buddha, the master, who by his knowledge has awoken as it were in the world having fallen asleep under the hindrances, ([him] I will see). |
| b2 | Tell me, oh Ānanda, who is the Buddha Lord? Like what is that? What does he tell about that? Does he give me a command about that? |
| b3 | a name unheard in [my] births over [many] kalpas, I have heard, therefore I ask you: who is that? |
| b3+ | What does the ‘Buddha’ mean? |
| b4 | Ānanda speaks: It is even thus: |
| b4+ | the glorious one, the one having come in this way, the Arhat, the one truly knowing all Dharmas together, the one endowed with morality and knowledge, the one knowing the world, the unsurpassable, the one leading those to be reined by a rein, the teacher of gods and humans, the Buddha, the glorious, the one who in morality, energy, meditation and know(ledge surpasses) all beings |

Other
| a1 | So it will be, arhat! (cf 24) (Peyrot 2013b: 624) |
|---|---|
| a2 | Der Buddha, der Meister, Śākyamuni, [unser] Schutz [und unsere] Hoffnung, wird von Erkrankung durch Windkrankheit gequält, o Bṛhaddyuti! (Schmidt 1974: 256) |
| b3 | Einen durch Kalpas hindurch in [meinen] Geburten nicht gehörten Namen hörte ich; deshalb frage ich dich: "Wer [ist] das, was [bedeutet] das: 'Buddha'?" (Schmidt 1974: 377) |
Commentary
Remarks
| Transcription and translation are based on Carling et al. 2009. | |
| Transcription and references have been transferred from the "Text and Reference Database of the Tocharian A Language" (Gerd Carling Lund University) (funded by the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation and SCAS). | |
| The leaf number on the margin has been lost, but a number 74 (sic!) is written inside the string hole of the verso side by a different hand. Since this leaf stands in a continuous series, it actually ought to have the leaf number 84. The combination of lost margin and deviating string-hole numbering starts in A 15 and continues until A 24. |
Philological commentary
| The translation is largely based on Sieg 1944: 24-25, and Carling et al. 2009. | |
| n1 | The tune has 4x12 syllables, rhythm 4/4/4. |
| n2 | The tune has 4x25 syllables, rhythm 5/5/8/7. |
