| a1 | ... The Yakṣa says: "You will probably not be able to give the price I ask of you. |
|---|---|
| a1+ | But if you should indeed be able to give up your (life ... then) I will give you (a Śloka) to hear." |
| a2 | The king says: "Seeing something with [one's own] eyes [is] superior [if] there has arisen doubt about it." The Yakṣa says: |
| a3 | ... order to make a large wooden fire-pit the size of Avīci! |
| a3+ | If this one, once it has become fire (?)... |
| a4+ | If you are able to enter this horrible fire hut that makes [you] feel aversion, then I will recite your Buddha strophe. |
| a5 | Teacher, without hesitation I enter into the fire hut ... (but) if I enter into the fire first, my wish to hear the dear law with a Buddha-strophe cannot be fulfilled. |
| a5+ | Buddha-lord... |
| a6 | ... to hear the dear law. First give me the law to hear with faithful mind!" The yakṣa says, |
| a6+ | "O great king, (it is) more than difficult |
| b1 | – you fool me [about] your entering the fire, don’t you?" Smiling, the king says: In the Taruṇadivākar-tune: |
| b1+ | (Sooner) would the best king of the mountains, like a filament... suddenly jump into the air, |
| b2 | coldness would exit from fire, water would leave its wetness (?), (But) I cannot be put off my resolution. |
| b2+ | Thus, ... to hear the excellent Buddha-verse. |
| b3+ | ... or thus, the people of the city, out of love for the king, ... directions... |
| b4 | ... hither... they were making effort... |
| b4+ | In this way, words of suffering without number... |
| b5 | ... in the guise of... Indra says to the king: Grand roi, sois prêt à entendre le joyau de la Loi. |
| b5+ | Thereupon... |
| b6 | ...to honor the law. Putting away the royal ornaments, arrogance and pride, his hands in the añjali-gesture... |

Commentary
Linguistic commentary
| The leaf has many misspelled vowels and also some hypercorrect spellings such as ‹au› for ‹o›: tsäṅkauṣepi (a2). Anusvara is also often missing. |
Philological commentary
| n1 | Thomas in Sieg and Siegling 1983: 252 proposes the likely restoration pañaktäññe ślok while Couvreur 1954c: 105 translated "the Law". |
|---|---|
| n2 | Restoration according to Sieg/Siegling in Sieg and Siegling 1953: 36, fn. 3. |
| n3 | Restoration according to Sieg/Siegling in Sieg and Siegling 1953: 36, fn. 6. |
