Translation
| a1+ | ... twelve year... named sarvapāṣāṇḍik... |
|---|---|
| a2 | for twelve years I gave alms, all my possessions have come to an end |
| a3 | ... From where would I give you five hundred dinars? |
| a3+ | Worried... poor... five hundred dinars. |
| a4 | From far away... hither... |
| a5 | ... you... not... the wealthy man will certainly lock me up in prison again. With trembling voice Bādhari says: |
| a6 | ... and I (do not) tell a lie: I do not even have one dinar. How should I have five hundred? Very agitated, Nirdhane says: |
| a7 | If you give (the dinars) to me, good! I will make your great wishes come true. If you do not give them to me: |
| a7+ | Within a week... (I will cause your heart) to break. |
| b1 | ... On the seventh day, with sorrow and pain, I will split your head into seven parts. Pay attention, you shameless old man! ... twelve... |
| b2 | ... you are miserly towards me alone - Why would you not receive punishment? Having spoken this much, he goes away intensely (?) Then come... |
| b3 | ... says: Brother Purṇabhadre, why do we... the king Vaiśravaṇa... of Buddha the teacher... |
| b4 | ... inform... Purṇabhadre says: |
| b4+ | ... Purṇabhadre says: (having seen) that the noble Metrak will leave his home in order to go to the Buddha-god the teacher |
| b5 | Purṇabhadre says: Great (gods?)... |
| b6 | ... informed the god Brahma and Indra. Indra... Vai(śravaṇa)... |
| b7 | ... if he knows, he certainly... |

| a5 | If you do not give me (the money), the rich man will surely have me shut up in prison again! (cf 45) (Peyrot 2013b: 246) |
| a6 | I do not have a single gold piece—how am I going to have five hundred? (Peyrot 2013b: 231) |
| a7 | If, however, you do not give it to me, … (Peyrot 2013b: 247, 633) |
| a7 | If you give me (the money), then [it is] good [and] I will fulfil your great wishes! (cf 283; see also 45) (Peyrot 2013b: 247, 633) |
| a7 | Wenn du [sie] mir gibst, [ist es] gut, [und] ich werde dir [deine] großen Wünsche erfüllen; wenn du [sie] mir aber nicht gibst, [dann] ... (Schmidt 1974: 134) |
| b1 | Within one week … of your mind … I will cause [lit. bring] your heart to break. On the seventh day, with sorrow and pain, I will split your head into seven parts. (cf 45, 47) (Peyrot 2013b: 634) |
| b7 | Make effort so that Bādhari the Brahmin of Dakṣiṇāpatha will fully understand the rising of the Buddha, the teacher, and that he [Bādhari] indeed in this (way) … (so that) the (noble) Maitreya will immediately come to the Buddha, the teacher. (cf 51) (Peyrot 2013b: 652) |
