Commentary
Remarks
| According to Broomhead 1962: 164 "[w]ritten in medium ductus, and quite badly abraded both sides, it is the right edge of an eight line MS. ... Two other texts in which Śāriputra is mentioned are [ IOL Toch 186 ] (smaller texts) and [ IOL Toch 143 ] which deals with the 'seat and camp' of the saṅgha during the rainy season." |
