Commentary
Remarks
| Fragment of a large leaf right behind the string hole, traces of vertical and horizontal ruling; on the verso side only the left part is covered with writing up until an ornamental vertical line, which is typical of the final leaf and colophon of a manuscript; does not belong with either of the 14A leaves. |
Philological commentary
| n1 | The supplementation päkre is not possible; an alternative reading could be p(·)äk(·)aṃ. |
|---|---|
| n2 | (a)padāṃ = avadāna- |
| n3 | cf. the Skt. PN citradyuti-. |
Linguistic commentary
| n4 | ṣkaimpa is the Kom. of a fem. PN. |
