Commentary

Remarks

*Right side of a large leaf.

Philological commentary

n1śaumoṃ śaumoṃ: sic!
n2Perhaps read [pra]śc[i]y[o] at the beginning of this line. This would be a variant of praściye 'rainshower' ; a or o after ya is certain, but the a is morphologically unlikely, i after śc is possible.
n314 unreadable akṣaras at the beginning of this line.
