Commentary
Philological commentary
| On the recto, the ink is rather bleached out, except for the left edge. On the verso, the surface is rather damaged. | |
| n1 | About 11 akṣaras are illegible. |
Remarks
| According to Broomhead 1962: 351 "[w]ritten in small ductus, and very badly abraded except for approx. the first four akṣaras on each side, the manuscript is the left hand edge of a seven line MS. numbered 56 on the verso". |
