Other

b4+ When you [pl.] come close to the Buddha, the teacher, sitting surrounded by a large crowd, then you [pl.] must try to see the thirty-(two marks) on his body. (cf 83) (Peyrot 2013b: 254)

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).
Due to the identification, verso and recto side can now be determined. It is the opposite of what is printed in Sieg and Siegling 1921: 105.

Parallel texts

A 212 (completing), YQ II.4; MaitrHami 2, 4-5

Philological commentary

This fragment, complemented by A 212, contains part of the second act of the Maitreyasamitināṭaka; it corresponds to YQ II.3 b8 - YQ II.4 b6. An Uy. parallel is MaitrHami II, 4a19-5a15. See also Pinault 1999: 195-6.
