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 ...
a4[72d] || In Dharmasoma’s Udānālaṅkāra, first part of the Mārgavarga. ||
a4+||In the Nandavilāpa metre|| ...
a5... (and so forth) in 90 ways proclaimed to their pupils such ways differently.
a5+Themselves being on each way ... [their] own endeavours (?).
a6No
a6There is no gift, nor even having to make a sacrifice, (nor) having to make libation.

b2+Between them the sword (passes through) ...
b3and 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:
b5+I am (the omniscient)
b6Always my (knowledge) is (as the) knowledge of the omniscient, this he would reply. [7d]
b6+The views, that they themselves had taken, ...
b7Thus [also] other teachers without number were different in the countries,
b7+[but to their] pupils they did not proclaim the whole knowledge. ... [8d] ...
b8Countless he saw sufferings; for the sake of the beings of five births. he always had this wish:

a1Will you [pl.] let [your] zeal fail? Remember me, this including! (cf : ii, 46) (Peyrot 2013b: 358)
b1(Ohne) Gedanken empfinden sie Glück [und] Leid. (Schmidt 1974: 199)
