Translation

a1... provided with goodness only in the (root of) virtue. (Having) seen that, th(ese peo)ple having been amazed (by the) splendor of (Supriya) they (say to each) other: (In the tune ...)
a1+In the (pow)er (of this beautiful one?), we have (obtai)ned to see the capacity consisting of divine happiness.
a2The thing which is right now exactly in the middle of all, this appears as an excellent mandala. [1b]
a2+And it (bestow)s an extraordinary happiness for (both) eyes through the vision provided with nectar. [1c]
a3Because of our goodness the human existence has become provided with fruit for us right now. [1d]
a3+Now, this speech ought to be understood (as taking place) in the divine world (of) the Trāyastriṃśa gods.
a4Here (and now) the god Viśvakarman says to Indra: In the [tune] p.: “By the divine chief-guardians [of the directions] it was told to me.
a5Listen to this! [1a] (Which is) this order [and] instruction by which all the power has been shown [lit. made]? [1b] The palace of the lord, the king of gods [is] superior in that way. [1c]
a5+I have (come?) (here towards) Supriya [who is] comparable with that one [i.e. the palace]. [1d]
a6(Having made?) this lions (seat) as (big) as the Sumeru mountain, [2a] I have decorated his body with royal ornaments. [2b]
a6+Whichever former kings (of the gods) have allotted (happi)ness [and] (jewel)s [2c], Supriya (has surpassed their) excellency [and] the capacity of that.” [2d]
b1+(After having) heard this, Indra (having) a tranquil mind [and] being rejoiced by the coming of Viśvakarman, says to Varuṇa:
b2In [the tune] b.: “Bring to the jewel of a human the gem together with the [female] elephant made of jewels! [1a]
b2+These excellent, divine ornaments, I send him as mark of homage providing happiness. [1b]
b3In the hardships of the (Kleśas) it makes his body inhale [the signs of] happiness immediately (?) [1c]
b3+In this forest of the (Saṃ)sāra being tired by the sufferings, may we become without self! [1d]
b4Thereupon Indra, (bowing to him ?), standing in front of Supriya (says): In [the tune] s.:
b4+“Sit down, oh noble one, without hesitation on the lion's seat! [1a]
b5Receive the excellent royal dignity without the sha(dow of hat)red, without enemies, [1c] on these four continents, on the path of the (ten) deeds. [1c]
b5+(Since) the living beings ought to be (freed),
b6the time has come for you to (become king??). [1d] After having ceased (to speak precisely this divine speech), Indra (says?) (to) the Trāyastriṃśa gods ...

Commentary

Remarks

The right side of a large leaf with the right margin completed to the left by PK AS 16.6.1 (left margin) and PK NS 78.2 (middle with part of the right string hole). This makes an almost complete leaf. There is a direct joint between PK AS 16.6.1 and PK NS 78.2 in lines a/b3 and a/b4 around the string hole and also between PK NS 78.2 and PK AS 17F in line a2/b5 (in line a3/b4 only one akṣara is missing). Lines a5/b2 and a6/b1 of PK NS 78.2 are lost.

Philological commentary

n1In the lacuna (approx. 10 akṣaras) the tune name is missing and the beginning of the first pāda. The tune has 4x18 syllables with rhythm 7/7/4.
n2The tune has 4x14 syllables with rhythm 4-3/4-3. Note that the colon break falls between the compound members k(a)m(a)rttika- , -ñakte(nt)sa.
n5The restoration of the tune name is quite certain, it has 4x18 syllables with rhythm 7/7/4. Based on the metrical analysis of this line on the recto side, only one akṣara ought to be missing in the lacuna after tumeṃ. One may restore (nmor)m(eṃ) "after having bowed" or (ce n)m(au) "bowing to him".
n6The tune name seems to be based on the abstract stemye "standing, stage, status" (from the root stämā- 'to stand'); note that in this text we often find tune names that reflect the situation.

Linguistic commentary

n3Note the spelling supryeṃ.
n4The hapax ṣaukār seems to be an adverb based on an abstract from the root 'to bring, offer, present', i.e. lit. 'at deliverence', 'immediately'.
