| a1 | ... [70d] certainly the pure life. Will you permit [your] fervor to recede in any way? Remember me! |
|---|---|
| a1+ | In this way ... of a good being to the welfare of [one’s own] self. |
| a2 | [71d] |
| a2+ | The way I have proclaimed to you, to the good town of Nirvāṇa, the eightfold, noble ... |
| a3 | ... (by you), however, [an] effort must be made with [your] whole self. Aside from this there is no other way to emerge from the Saṃsāra. |
| a3+ | The law (proclaimed?) by me ... |

| b2+ | Between them the sword (passes through) ... |
| b3 | and the bones are but white, and sage or fool, both are not distinct. [5d] |
| b4 | ... Whoever should ask him, exactly the same he says then, like a myna. |
| b4+ | Should one ask him [about] white, [so] he would decide white. |
| b5 | ... (always the same(?)) he replied. [6d] By Jñāti’s son, the (Ni(r))grantha, the view was firmly taken. Who should ask him, [to him] he would replay: |
