Remarks
| The upper margin of the recto (lower of the verso) is preserved. Lines a1-4 cover the 6 half pādas 4.1d-4.3a, lines b3-6 the 6 half pādas 4.4e-4.5d: the 7 half pādas in between will have covered two lines on each side and the total number of lines must have been 6. On IDP, recto and verso are reversed. |
Philological commentary
| n1 | Uv.4.1d ye pramattāḥ sadā mṛtāḥ, see Dhp.21 (and Norman 2004: 4) |
|---|---|
| n2 | smṛtā(ḥ) seems to be an error for mṛtāḥ, possibly induced by sadā (also in the Tib. version, see Lévi 1912a: 235), which corresponds to yathā in e.g. the Dhp. Thus, Dhp.21d ye pamattā yathā matā 'the careless are as though [already] dead' (Norman 2004: 4) corresponds to ye pramattāḥ sadā smṛtāḥ 'who are negligent are always remembered' in this version (this reading is not given by Bernhard 1965: 126). |
| n3 | Uv.4.2a-b etāṃ viśeṣatāṃ jñātvā hy apramādasya paṇḍitaḥ, see Dhp.22 (and Norman 2004: 4) |
| n4 | The hiatus-resolving hy is lacking before apramā(dasya) (this occurs frequently with these pādas divided in two, because there is no hiatus anyway, cf. Thomas 1974: 82, Thomas 1977a: 271 and e.g. THT 101 a3 as(m)iṃ for hy asmiṃ). |
| n5 | Uv.4.2c apramādaṃ pramudyeta, see Dhp.22 (and Norman 2004: 4) |
| n6 | Uv.4.3a apramattāḥ sātatikā, see Dhp.23(and Norman 2004: 4) |
| n7 | Uv.4.4e parvatasthaiva bhūmisthāṃ, see Dhp.28 (and Norman 2004: 4) |
| n8 | Uv.4.4f dhīro bālān avekṣate, see Dhp.28 (and Norman 2004: 4) |
| n9 | Uv.4.5b saṃyamena damena ca, see Dhp.25 (and Norman 2004: 4) |
| n10 | Uv.4.5c-d dvīpaṃ karoti medhāvī tam ogho nābhimardati, see Dhp.25 (and Norman 2004: 4) |
