| a1 | From all the pores rays crossed the directions, the lotus beds (looked) wholly golden colored. |
|---|---|
| a2 | This world was wholly (illum)inated. The king Prabhāsa became amazed in the meantime. Here then |
| a3 | ... the omniscients, Buddha-lords, teachers, having been ... started (to arrive) from all the four directions in wonderful ways, |
| a4 | some were seen sitting in meditation, some others looking at the tree, some others ... |
| b1 | some others going for alms, some others freeing the beings, some others going by miraculous power, ... |
| b2 | (some others) making wonders [and] teaching the Law to the gods. But others are saying these stanzas: |
| b3 | Sanskrit You (pl.) get started! You (pl.) leave! Sanskrit Join yourselves to the teaching of the Buddha-lord! |
| b4 | You destroy (pl.) the army of death, Sanskrit as the elephant [destroys] a house made of reeds! |
| b3 | Auf! [wtl. fangt an!] Geht hinaus [und] schließt euch der Lehre des Buddha an! (Schmidt 1974: 370) |

| Fragments PK NS 34, PK NS 37 (including 38), m-pkns144 and PK NS 398 belong to the same manuscript. In this fragment the right margin is fairly well preserved, with a single vertical line 1,7 cm from the edge; no horizontal ruling is visible. The paper is torn, perforated and crumpled in many places. NS 37 completes NS 38 to the right. The whole fragment makes up the right part of a leaf. | |
| The lines b3-b4 contain the quotation and pada-like translation of the first of two famous Udānavarga stanzas, Udv. IV 37 and 38. This is a parallel in Tocharian A texts A 258 a4-a5 and A 354 b5-b6. |
| n1 | The form uppālṣi is nom. pl. m. of the adjective uppālṣe, which is metri causa for the expected nom. pl. f. uppālṣana. |
|---|---|
| n2 | The metrical part follows a meter of 4x12 syllables with a rhythm of 5/7. |
| n3 | The form alyaiṅk stands for the nom. pl. m. alyaik which is found in all other instances. It is analogical from the obl. pl. m. which apparently shows a stem with nasal, cf. alyeṅkäṃ. |
