Other

a2+Even if he has committed an offence by craving, the person will establish to destroy (?) it (= the offence) [and] fear of his life will disappear. (Peyrot 2013b: 714)

Commentary

Philological commentary

*Some akṣaras in lines a4 and a6 seem to be in a different hand. The verso is rather abraded and many readings uncertain. Lines b7 and b8 are in a different, untutored hand.

Remarks

*Slightly abraded on the recto and badly abraded on the verso (Broomhead 1962: 49).
*on leaf number: with horizontal doubling stroke
