Translation
(continues from THT 1112)
| a1 | You have here asked each [and] every monk (down to the youngest(?)) to ordain [you]. |
|---|
| a1+ | But now you shall ask the community as a whole to ordain [you]. |
|---|
| a2 | If the community as a whole (agrees by sitting still), you will be ordained. |
|---|
| a2+ | [If only] one [single] monk hinders you, you will not be ordained. |
|---|
| a3+ | What words I give you now [and] here to say, this say loudly, for the hearing of the whole community! |
|---|
| a4 | Say: |
|---|
| a4 | Let (the venerable community) pay heed to this! |
|---|
| a4+ | I, Yaśakāma, Yaśa’s [= abbrev. of Vimalayaśa] [candidate] to be ordained, |
|---|
| a5 | (ask) the community (to) ordain [me] with Yaśa [as] (upā)dhyāya. |
|---|
| a5 | May the community lift me up, |
|---|
| a5+ | may the community enable my ordination (out of) compassion! |
|---|
| b1+ | (This [must] be spoken three [times].)The noble community, from a loving disposition, has, by sitting still, agreed to ordain you. |
|---|
| b2 | (Let the venerable) community (hear)! |
|---|
| b2+ | I, Yaśakāma, Yaśa’s [candidate] wishing to be ordained, (ask) the community (for) [my] ord(ination). |
|---|
| b3 | May the community lift me up, |
|---|
| b3+ | may the community ordain me out of compassion. |
|---|
| b4 | Thus (a second [and] a third time) [it must] be (spoken). |
|---|
| b4 | 3. |
|---|
| b4+ | But now the being to be ordained shall (be asked) about obstacles. |
|---|
| b5 | Why so? |
|---|
| b5 | Because at the time of the Buddha, some beings, who [were] not worthy, went from the house here [and] (were ordained, [although they]) [were] endowed with (ev)il deeds. |
|---|
(continues on THT 1114)
Other
| a2+ | If the whole saṃgha (agrees), [even if] only (through remaining silent), you will be ordained. If only one monk stops you, you cannot be ordained. (Peyrot 2013b: 311) |
|---|
| a3 | The words which I tell you to say, say that aloud! (Peyrot 2013b: 659) |
|---|
| a4 | May the worthy saṃgha pay attention! (Peyrot 2013b: 296) |

Remarks
| * | According to Schmidt 1986: iv-v this ms. comes either from Qizil or from Tumšuq. |
|---|
| * | From this leaf 2 large fragments are preserved: one from the left side, about 10 cm wide, and the right half of the leaf, about 13 cm wide. In between about 6 cm are missing. |
|---|
| * | The original ms. was 29 cm wide and 5.6 cm high, with the string hole 6.5 cm from the left margin. It was written by at least three hands: scribe 1, a beautiful, delicate script, from leaf 1 to 11 a1; scribe 2, distinguished by a number of orthographical idiosyncrasies/errors, from leaf 11 a1 to and including 19; scribe 3 from leaf 20 to end. The final leaves A and B THT 1123 and THT 1124 may have been written either by scribe 2 or a fourth hand. Cf. Schmidt 1986: v, 2, 4 |
|---|
| * | The leaf is in hand 3. |

Linguistic commentary
| n1 | yamaṣäle for yamaṣṣälle; ta for tane; ṣṣeme for ṣeme; wasanpāt for wasaṃpāt. |
|---|
| n2 | na sic! Perhaps one should read ta, as a scribal error for tane? ṣṣeme sic! |
|---|
| n4 | yaskaṣälle for yaskaṣṣälle; krui for kwri; wasanpāt for wasaṃpāt; yātaṃñ-c for yātaṃ-c; teṅkäñ-c for teṅkäṃ-c. |
|---|
| n6 | teṅkäṃ is the initially accented 3rdSub.Sg. II of täṅk- ‘hinder’. |
|---|
| n7 | wasanpāt for wasaṃpāt; yātaṃñ-c for yātaṃ-c; weñau-ś for weñau-c.- |
|---|
| n9 | klyaussa for klyauṣtsisa; wasanpāt for wasaṃpāt; yamaṣälle for yamaṣṣälle. |
|---|
| n10 | klyaussa sic! scribal error for klyaussisa. |
|---|
| n13 | wasanpāt for wasaṃpāt. |
|---|
| n14 | kauc pannoy corresponds to Skt. avalaṃbatu; as a Skt. equivalent, however, one would rather expect ulluṃpatu ‘shall lift’, which, indeed, is attested in Bhī 133, 17 (= THT 1111 a3) and the Vinayapiṭaka II, p. 277 in the same context. |
|---|
| n16 | yātäṣṣi wasanpāt translates Skt. upasaṃpā〈da〉yatu. |
|---|
| n17 | wasanpāt for wasaṃpāt; āñmālāśälyñesa for añmalāṣṣälñese. |
|---|
| n18 | āñmālāṣälyñe sic! |
|---|
| n20 | wasanpāt for wasaṃpāt. |
|---|
| n21 | saṃghaḥ ahaṃ yaśakāma sic! Class.Skt. saṃgho 'haṃ yaśakāmo. |
|---|
| n23 | Below up(a-) the akṣara śa seems to have been inserted - where this is supposed to belong remains unclear. upasaṃpāyatu sic! scribal error for upasaṃpādayatu. |
|---|
| n24 | māṃghaḥ: scribal error for māṃ sāṃghaḥ. |
|---|
| n26 | pkänte for pkante. |
