Commentary

Philological commentary

A small piece from the recto is flapped over at the upper right corner of the verso.
n1Probably prasenajit tune (7+7), because praśantahār (5+6) is excluded.
n2[pu]: "kaucä\ eretra [pu]" is added in cursive script under the line.

Remarks

According to Broomhead 1962: 117 "[w]ritten in medium sized ductus, the manuscript contains nine lines and is slightly abraded on the recto, and a little worse on the verso."
