Translation

a1	“... but you know.” He would fear him: “You ...” [114a]
a2	[114b] (The good Law?) has been approved beginning with the Sūtra belonging to the omniscient, the teacher. [114c]
a3	114. In the Udānālaṅkāra (the second part) of the Cittavarga (is finished).
a4	... erroneous (doctrines?) belonging (to heretics?), [1a] and this one is not able to receive the good Law.
a5	... [1b] ... he [1c] has got a large depression [and] he does not shine in his
a6	company. 1. ... The Buddha (was staying) ... together with five hundred pupils.
a7	... and (someone) told that to the omniscient. 2. ...
b1	... (the ones) related to the saying in ... manner. [3b] The [alternative] sides ...
b2	... he will make the om sound. 3. They began to utter (noise) ... [4a]
b3	... [4b] And they could not stay on the (virtuous) side. [4c] They did (not) understand ...
b4	... (4). The monks heard that matter. [5a] Together with a heretic ...
b5	... (Thereupon) they let this matter be known to (the Buddha lord). [5c] Following that (the Buddha lord spoke this stanza: 5)
b6	“(By the one who is not stable in his mind), [by the one] not knowing [6a] the good Law, [= Uv 31.28a-b], [by the one] (whose) faith [is] wavering, [6b] (the wisdom is not fulfilled.) [6c] [= Uv 31.28c-d]
b7	And (now) in this stanza I will (explain) the matter in detail.” 6.

Commentary

Parallel texts

	Uv 31.28 (Bernhard 1965: 417)

Philological commentary

	The metre down to stanza 114 is: 21/21/18/13: a-b = 8/7/6 or 8/6/7 (mostly 5+3 + 4+3 + 6), c = 9/9 (4-5/4-5 or 7-7-4), d = 7/6 or 6/7.
	Afterwards we have: 4 x 12 (5/7 = 5 + 4+3).
	In the following the contents are about the conflict between the good Law and the false views and rituals of the heretics, i.e. brahmanic ascetics. This explains the resort to Uv 31.28, which refers to people who are hesitant about their own belief.
n1	Given the fact that we have a 2. singular at the beginning of the line, -star should belong to a 2.sg. middle present/subjunctive verb form.
n3	The colophon can be restored as: udānalaṅkārne cittavārggä[n]tse (wate pāke). The existence of a finite verb meaning ‘is finished’ (āra) is not certain because similar colophons may lack it. One should keep in mind that the lacuna contained also the name of the following meter.
n4	The word tsätkwañceṃ ought to be an oblique plural masc. It can refer to false doctrines as well as to their followers.
n5	ykne ought to be the second member of a compound meaning ‘in the manner of xy’.
n6	The last word is the ritual syllable om, written according to its mystical analysis into the three components a, u, m. Interestingly enough, this syllable is also called oṃkāra- lit. ‘om making’, so that the rendering with TB yām- is justified on a Sanskrit model.

Remarks

	The fragment has the two different press marks PK AS 6G and PK NS 22. Note that it is one and the same fragment with two numbers and not the joint of two different ones.

Linguistic commentary

n2	poyśi-käṣṣīṣṣe should be constructed as a compound adjective derived from the phrase poyśi käṣṣi, and this adjective qualifies the next word sūtär. poyśi- itself cannot be taken as an independent word, the derived adjective would be poyśiññe ‘pertaining to the omniscient’.
