Commentary
Remarks
| * | Genre and contents uncertain. Possibly Mahendrasena? Palaeographically different. |
|---|
| * | According to Broomhead 1962: 202 "[w]ritten in medium to small ductus, and clearly preserved, it is from near the Schnurloch of a six line manuscript, with the sixth line visible verso." |

Philological commentary
| n1 | leke Thomas 1972: 446 reads laike - to make a connection with 'wash'? |
|---|
| n2 | śaiṣṣe ṣe śaiṣṣemeṃ: Syntax unclear. Rather expect ṣeme if to following word. |
