	Fragments PK NS 79.1 (middle of the leaf) and PK NS 79.2 (right part with the right margin partly preserved) belong to one single leaf and make a complete joint in lines a1-a4; both fragments are therefore edited here together.

	The tune has a meter of 4 x 14 (7/7) syllables. It is unclear where the metrical part ends.
n1	One cannot restore a 3.pl. lyamāre at the end of the line since there is no space before the double daṇḍa.
n3	devapuṣpagaddhārāyaṃ clearly consists of Skt. deva-puṣpa-gandha- 'having the perfume of divine lowers' and then either dhārayāṇa- 'containing' with haplology or maybe a wrongly Sanskritized Prakrit form of araṇya- 'forest'.
n5	-rpaṣ is the end of an obl.sg. or nom.pl. participle either from the root wārpā- 'to surround' or kārpā- 'to descend'; both seem possible here from a semantic point of view.
n6	bhara- is the beginning of a proper name.
n7	The tune has a meter of 4 x 14 (7/7) syllables.

n2	The plural of the alternant kwrakār is so far unattested, but kwrakā(ränma) would be the unmarked form.
n4	lyeṃssi is an infinitive made from a class II subjunctive stem of a root lyeṃs- or from a (nā)sk-subjunctive stem of a root lye(ṃ)-. The root is otherwise unattested, so it ought to have a very specialized meaning such as 'to reflect, mirror' vel sim.
