Commentary

Philological commentary

Akṣaras of the type lXä are consistently written with the two dots above each other instead of next to each other (so 2 times in line a3, once in line a6).
n1 ma: m like n
n2 ma: m like n
n3 mtä: miswritten for ramtä
n4 taṅw: the and the w are in a kind of (irregular) ligature.

Remarks

According to Broomhead 1962: 235 "[w]ritten in medium ductus, and very clearly preserved, the middle portion of an eight line manuscript".
