Commentary
Remarks
| Subgenre uncertain. The poyśi 'ominiscient' in a2 probably does not mean that the Buddha figures in the fragment, since it is the content of a strophe. | |
| According to Broomhead 1962: 62, "[w]ritten in medium ductus, and clearly preserved, ... the left edge". |
Philological commentary
| n1 | painārña: In Adams 2013a: 431, the press mark PK AS 17A b6 and the reference to CEToM are wrong. |
