Commentary

Remarks

*	This smaller one of the two fragments kept under PK AS 19.16 is likely the right part of a leaf. The paper of this fragment is quite damaged and the script severely attrited. It is possible to read some akṣaras on one side. The other side is completely erased or has lost a layer of paper.

Philological commentary

n1	6 akṣaras are missing in the middle.
