| a2+ | He, extremely strong, feared a bad deed. |
| a3 | At (the same) time, his body became without disease in purity. |
| a4 | ... again and again he honored... there with joy. Sought... me (?) through the great root of virtue. |
| a5 | ... may I always be born with property in a rich house. ... with smearing of blood of the stomach (?)... ... all ornament... |

| b3 | Then the teacher Maitreya, feeling aversion towards the world, will know... In this way, the excellent, good law... |
| b4 | ... there... They will know the law by the instruction of the Buddha Maitreya... They will leave home... law... |
| b5 | Because the beings have sown seeds into the Pratyekabuddha Aṅgade (?), they have done meritorious deeds for that reason. |
| b6 | ... they are liberated in the good law of Maitreya. The pratyekabuddha... of the knowing, worthy Buddha Maitreya... |
| b7 | That time, there is a second great group of disciples. Then further the teacher Maitreya... through the good way... |

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). |
Philological commentary
| n1 | I follow Carling and Pinault 2023 (s.v. lotka-) in reading āṣtraṃ as a locative noun, since the feminine plural meaning does not make sense. |
