Remarks
| Although the fragments IOL Toch 579 (left, original size w: 3,9 cm, h: 4,4 cm) and IOL Toch 1187 (right, original size w: 3,6 cm, h: 4,4 cm) were edited separately in Peyrot 2008a: 100-102, they clearly belong together. There are no lines missing between a5 and b1, even though the lower margin of the recto (upper of the verso) is not itself preserved. The blank space to the left is probably not the string hole space (pace Peyrot 2008a: 100) because it seems to cover also line a5, which is the last; therefore, the left margin must be preserved. Still, the leaf number is not preserved: perhaps it stood left of lines b4-5. |
Philological commentary
| n1 | m[ā]: The reading is not certain. It could also be rme of Uv.13.7d dharmeṇa na vaṇik caret. If it is really mā, it may be TB mā 'not', rendering Skt. na of the same line. The TB translation may have been pelaiknesa mā karyor yāmi. |
|---|---|
| n2 | Uv.13.8b nānyeṣāṃ spṛhako bhavet. The akṣara spṛ is difficult to read because a tiny piece is flipped over from the verso, see the comment to line b4. |
| n3 | Uv.13.8d samādhiṃ nādhigacchati. The following traces, illegible by themselves, must be [8] (s)[ukh](aṃ), the beginning of Uv.13.9a sukhaṃ jīvitum icchec cet. |
| n4 | Uv.13.9b-c śrāmaṇyārtheṣv avekṣavān / ahir mūṣakadurgaṃ vā, here apparently with ahi for ahir, as no r can be read on top of the akṣara mū. |
| n5 | Uv.13.10a-b sukhaṃ jīvitum icchec cec chrāmaṇyārtheṣv avekṣavān |
| n6 | Uv.13.10d ekadharmaṃ ca bhāvayet |
| n7 | Uv.13.11c sāṃghikaṃ nāvamanyeta. The following [s]· is the beginning of the TB translation of sāṃghikaṃ, possibly saṅkaṣṣe v.s. |
| n8 | Uv.13.12a-b alpajñāto ’pi ced bhavati śīleṣu susamāhitaḥ |
| n9 | śīle[ṣ]u: the ś is closed at the bottom and looks a bit like s. |
| n10 | Uv.13.12d śuddhājīvam atandritam |
| n11 | (a)s(t)are śaul: #ERROR#ref a5 reads āstreṃ śaul, a verse variant of regular prose astare. |
| n12 | śaul [ś]·[y]e·ai: the reading l [ś]· is problematic because the ś seems to be attached directly below the l. If śaul śayeñcai was written together, one would at all times expect an akṣara lśa, not lśa. Probably, the scribe mixed up the two possible spellings lśa in one akṣara and l\ śa in two akṣaras. The ś is partly readable in the reconstructed image, but part of it was flipped over to the recto (see the comment to line a2) on the original image. |
| n13 | Uv.13.13c alpajñātam iti jñātvā |
