| * | This leaf is severely damaged; it contains strophes 11d-19 of the Vācāvarga (VIII); THT 17, which is less damaged, contains strophes 12-18, all in a 4x25 syllable-metre (rhythm 5/5/8/7). Thus, both leaves supplement each other and cover the same content, i.e. part of the conversation between Buddha and Ānanda after Buddha’s first sickness; cf. also THT 27 and THT 45.
