Commentary
Philological commentary
| * | This fragment might be the Tocharian version of an episode of the Buddha’s life staging Kālodāyin, which was summarized by Malalasekera 1937: 589 as follows: “Kāludāyī felt that it was time for the Buddha to visit his kinsmen, and gave him their invitation, singing the season's beauties in a series of verses. The Buddha took sixty days in covering the sixty leagues from Rājagaha to Kapilavatthu, and each day Kāludāyī went by air to the king's palace to tell him of the progress made in the journey and to bring back to the Buddha from the palace a bowl full of excellent food. By the time the Buddha reached his home his kinsmen were already full of faith in him.” |
