| a1 | (Now I will proclaim to you what virtues) can be obtained (with the power of the three jewels). With the power of the three jewels |
|---|---|
| a2 | (the virtues of munificence ... can be obtained. Therefore one shall) create great belief in the three jewels. |
| a3 | ... (If) you have never heard of the virtues of the three jewels, [then] (listen) now |
| a4 | with .... . The Buddha, [who is] equipped with virtues without measure [and] number, (is), briefly |
| a5 | [put], .... (virtuous(?)) and (sup)erior. In what way is he virtuous? All that (the) saṃsāra |
| b1 | (beings need for [their] release, [all] this) he knew. And all that the saṃsāra beings did not know, |
| b2 | ([all] that he taught them) .... In this way he is virtuous. In what way is he superior? |
| b3 | (In numberless births(??)), for the sake (of a single dictum [subhāṣita]), hands [and] feet, nose [and] ears, skin [and] bl(ood), |
| b4 | ...... (all) dear [and] enjoyable things, all he has given away [and] from a mountain he has |

Remarks
| According to Schmidt 1986: iv-v this ms. comes either from Qizil or from Tumšuq. | |
| The right half of a leaf, consisting of 4 pieces, about 13 cm wide. | |
| 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, 6 | |
| This leaf is in hand 3. |
Linguistic commentary
| n1 | naumiyentats for naumiyentaṃts. |
|---|---|
| n3 | maiyyātse for maiyyātstse. |
| n5 | klyauṣu for keklyauṣu. |
| n6 | klyauṣu sic! and to be corrected to keklyauṣu. |
| n8 | . The first word in this line cannot be supplemented to (palsko)sa. |
| n10 | krentaunatse for krentaunatstse. |
| n12 | aiksante is Pt.III of aik- ‘know’. ekasta (THT 204 b3), too, is clearly Pt.III, albeit listed as a Pt.I by mistake in TEB I: 242, § 436,2. |
| n14 | krentaunatse for krentaunatstse. |
| n15 | pruccamo ‘excellent’. An Obl.Sg.Fem. prucamñai is attested in THT 1108 b2. |
| n17 | paiyne for paine. |
| n19 | Mistaken rintsete for rintsate. |
| n20 | The supplementation to larona is prompted by PK AS 7J a4 lāre ṣek cäñcre. rintsete sic! for rintsate. |
| n22 | ṣey for ṣai; mistaken penesa for pernesa; laṃṣate for laṃṣāte. |
| n23 | penesa sic! and to be corrected to pernesa. laṃṣa to be corrected and supplemented to laṃṣā(te). |
