|---|
| b3 | [If] I intend to do evil to myself with respect to b(ody, word, [and] mi)nd, [1c] as long as the idea of death [is] suit(able to myself, therefore [it] is dear to me). [1d] |
|---|
| b4 | Whichever evil the beings do with body, speech [or] mind, [2a] [while thinking:] “The idea of death (is not my) friend”, their mind [is] (completely) exercised. [2b] |
|---|
| b4+ | Having done evil, (they are reborn in the three inferior existences. [2c]) |

| b5 | Because of this fact also the idea of death is dear to me. [2d] By the bodhisattva good deeds without number have been accumulated, [3a] as long as the idea of death (would not touch him, so long did he not feel repulsion [for the world]. [3b] |

| The fragments PK AS 7K, PK NS 50, and PK NS 265 belong to one single leaf. The meter in the first part is 4 x 12 (5/7), in the second part from line b3 onwards 4 x 17 (5/7/5 or 6/6/5). |
|---|
| n1 | Due to the Sanskrit name, the meter in colon 31a has a 4/4/4 division. |
|---|
| n2 | skeṃ is probably the end of a 3.pl.act. present form. The complex ālpnāneṅtsi can be separated as ālpnān eṅtsi or as ālpnān= eṅtsi. In the latter case the verb will be followed by a suffixed pronoun so that one should restore to ālpnāṃ-n= eṅtsi. However, a suffixed pronoun does not seem to be required by the syntax and its reference would not be clear ("his feet"?). The only advantage would be to somehow account for the second 〈ā〉, which is unexpected even in a metrically shortened form. The correct prose form is alpanaṃ, which can be shortened to ālpnaṃ in verse. |
|---|
| n3 | Before auloṃ the segmentation remains uncertian, but since ñmi is not a likely end of a word and since lkān ma also does not lead anywhere, one can set up milkānma as a plural form of a stem milkā- that may belong to the root mälkā- "to put together, to combine". |
|---|
| n4 | According to the punctuation, pāda 33b is two syllables too short. In addition, spärkauw cannot be syntactiacally correct, so that one may assume a scribal error. |
|---|
| n5 | The form rsäṃ is unclear, but it has to be the second syllable of a word beginning the second colon, since one can read tallāñcä as tallāñc by admitting the omission of virāma. |
|---|
| n6 | rak is probably the end of a form from Sanskrit in -aka-. |
|---|
| n7 | ts is certainly the end of a gen.pl., which, however, cannot be the complement of kamarttāññe, because the latter usually governs a perlative (precisely as in the following pāda). So maybe this is a partitive genitive. |
|---|
| n9 | One has to read yaikoṣä in the first colon of 37a in order to have a correct pāda, even though a virama is written. |
|---|
| n10 | cci is the end of a two-syllabic nom.pl. adjective in -tstse; wrocci would be a possibility in the sense of "adult". |
|---|
| n11 | The text in this new chapter can be completed by the parallel [#ERROR#ref](m-pkas7n) a5-b7. |
|---|
| n12 | The division in pāda a1 is 4/8/5. |
|---|
| n13 | The parallel PK NS 7N often has a slightly different wording and different cola scansion. |
