Commentary
Philological commentary
| There's Chinese text on the verso. It appears to be from the Lotus-Sutra. | |
| n1 | The illegible akṣara looks a little bit like the following 'klyū', but the u-diacritic is attached on the left instead of on the right. Maybe the scribe simply wrote the akṣara again and intentionally smeared the first akṣara? |
| n2 | The line seems to contain the word meñantsene, but I can't figure out the rest. |
