a1+If the people fearing sickness, poverty and death [...] the anxiety towards each birth is frightening [...]
a2they will attain (it) here. To the one who has fear of the very terrible enemies that are the Kleśas, the blissful self... up... away...
a3... great, evil... may he render fruitful. He accepts... of many virtues. If he/it (?) gladdens (himself) (?) through cellsn1 , ciruits, caves... avenues, may he think how many... certainly... good beings turn towards liberation.
a4... zeal... This time certainly is evil [and] terrible. This... of goodness...
a5... destroys... of virtues for horror. The time increases their... evil. This is the law.
a5+Not in this way... exit from the (good) manner...
a6If this time... evilness... or if they do evil, ... the places... stand... of virtues.
a6+When the evils go, ...
a7The terrible... of the Kleśas... seize... is like a refuge. The cycle is aśattra to destroy the poisons from the views.
a7+Or... the Kleśas...
