Commentary
Remarks
| * | In one frame with A 408.j-A 408.n and A 408.p-A 408.r. The upper margin of the recto (lower of the recto) and the left part of the string hole space are preserved. Although this fragment is not edited by Ogihara 2009, I think that täṣne directly preceding a number (see also A 408.j a2) can also be taken as an indication that this fragment belongs to the Bhikṣuṇī-Prātimokṣasūtra. Therefore, it is provisionally assumed that it belongs to manuscript A 415-416, not to A 406-408. |
