Commentary

Uv 3

Philological commentary

This single fragment of MS E on the recto side contains strophes 15-17, on the verso side it contains fragments of strophes 24-27 of the Tṛṣṇāvarga (III). The four lines on the recto side cover the same content as THT 9 b5-8 and have been translated there already. In spite of the big gap of 8 lines that lies between a4 and b5, b5ff. still contain the description of the Aśubhabhāvanā, and as far as a translation is concerned, the situation in this text is even worse than in THT 9.
