| a1 | ... it rises, like the instants, dies, and goes to [its] perishing, so to speak. [3c] |
|---|
| a1+ | More readily than a mountain river, life [and] the present pass for all beings. |
|---|
| a2 | [3d] The wretched (?) [body?] formed bit by bit of atoms is pierced. [4a or b] What [is] life? Or what [is] the body? |
|---|
| a2+ | All that is nothing but the dimension of the visible. [4b or c] |
|---|
| a3 | The body [is] disguised by the craftsman (?) of the deed to deceive us.” [4d] |
|---|
| a3+ | Then, the cakravartin king Supriya, having fixed his gaze on Wekārsa, says about the ripening of the virtues of the mountain |
|---|
| a4 | || in [the tune] Putropat ||: “I wish to go together with the lord to this Pūrvavedīdvīpa. |
|---|
| a5 | You, be ready, with a mind without hesitation. In doing good [lit. a good deed] the wise should never hesitate: with an indefatigable mind (this one) should accumulate merits.” [1d] |
|---|
| a6 | Then the cakravartin king Supriya, having hardly finished saying this, ... Wekārsa floated in the sky. |
|---|
| a6+ | Having lifted up the seven jewels he (went) in the direction of the rising sun, like a cakravartin king. |
|---|
| b1+ | Here now, the god who stayed in Pūrvavedīdvīpa, Pūrvottara by name, ... came with lute [and] ploriya [instrument] towards the cakravartin king Supriya. |
|---|
| b2 | With a glad and pleased mind he says || in [the tune] Nandi ||: "The sweet [and] pleasant appearance [of yours] through [your] lovely [and] unalterable face has become like the moon of the white lotuses of the eyes. |
|---|
| b3 | Through contemplation of your appearance we [have] obtained confidence. Give happiness [and] joy to the resident[s] in the town Pūrvottara. [1d] |
|---|
| b4 | Staying twenty thousand years in this town, you will at that time put the beings on the path of the ten deeds; |
|---|
| b4+ | you will open wide the door to the worlds of gods and humans; |
|---|
| b5 | you will completely destroy sorrow among the hell-[beings], the animals and the pretas. [2d] |
|---|
| b5+ | Thereupon the cakravartin king Supriya, surrounded by 84,000 kings, going to the town Pūrvottara, (lifted) up (the seven) jewels. |
|---|
| b6 | (That) wheel of gold (there) going in the sky, turning in a great dust ... |

| Though this should be the leaf directly following [#ERROR#ref](m-pkas17h), it is difficult to understand why it starts with the third strophe of a poem in a different metre than the strophe just before the end of AS 17H. It is more likely that the leaf numbers are incorrect. The metre here has a [7/7/4] division. The following strophes have the metre 4x14 [7/7]. |
|---|
| n1 | cakes= arwāre: because of the perl. cakes= (= cakesa), we should translate 'more readily than' v.s. rather than Pinault's "Aussi prompte[ment] qu' " (Pinault 1984b: 172). |
|---|
| n2 | The segmentation warserw· – – is uncertain. If one separates warsa, this can be the perlative of war 'water' belonging to a simile. Cf. possibly warsa 'pitied' [#ERROR#ref](m-tht22) a1 and TA wras- 'suffer'. |
|---|
| n3 | One line of the strophe is missing, at least when one admits that a stanza has four pādas as usual. Since of the three lines that are preserved the last two seem to form a coherent whole, 4a or 4b will be missing. |
|---|
| n4 | yatsi: although this word starts pāda 1b, it belongs syntactically most probably to pāda 1a. |
|---|
| n5 | The reading is uncertain, and a form ending in -reye is otherwise unknown. |
|---|
| n6 | m(asa): perhaps to be restored thus. In any case, this sentence needs a finite verb, as it can hardly be a postponed subclause to the preceding sentence with plyewsa. |
|---|
| n7 | airpä –: the only possible restoration seems to be a form of airpätte. With poetry allows placing the attribute after the head noun, one may assume that this privative belongs to yoksa. It would refer to the unchangingly bright color of Supriya. |
|---|
| n8 | kau(c yāmu): After kauc we expect a form of the verb yām- as in a 6. Since the number seven ought to stand before naumyenta, it seems that there is place only for yāmu, the PPt being used as predicate. The finite preterite yamaṣṣa would be too long. |
|---|
| n9 | – m: The most likely restoration seems to be the distant demonstrative (sa)m. |
