Commentary
Remarks
| Verso Chinese. This leaf immediately follows THT 559.1, though it has the same leaf number. In Sieg and Siegling 1953: 352 it has been edited as no. 559 b. The Chinese text is from the Daśabhūmikasūtra. In particular, it is an earlier part of the text than THT 559.1. |
Linguistic commentary
| n1 | ymassu for imassu. |

| n2 | ymassu for imassu. |
Philological commentary
