Translation
| a1 | .... I (saw) suffering. For me nowhere the kinsmen (were) shelter (and refuge) |
|---|---|
| a2 | .... these are sitting indifferently(?). Whoever among the kinsmen are now worried |
| a3 | [65d] Whoever [are] here wealthy rich creatures, (they) [are] there(by) |
| a4 | ... such ones love possession. [66d] And therefore even more carefully |
| a5 | ... No-one praises himself before the others, then. [67d] Let alone .... |
| a6 | ... (When) there is (not) anything else to be sold by me, [then] I sell myself |
| a7 | ... Whatever this one’s meditation or whatever [this one’s] insight [may be], the kleśas (will destroy for him) |
| a8 | ... For however long, however, the virtues increase in this one’s mind, so long also all |
| b1 | .... Not even in the least did the Omniscient praise the births, let alone at length such birth |
| b2 | .... with [the] exception (of all hell-places) I have been born in every one, dies in every one |
| b3 | .... if anything had been here. So often [have] I [been] born |
| b4 | .... through the births. With being born and dying he will be satiated. |
| b5 | .... the virtues altogether. And everyone, who has gathered all merits |
| b6 | .... [75d] If a monk behaves according to these twelve ways |
| b7 | .... (he reaches the Nirvāṇa-(?))place. [76d] In Dharmasoma’s Udānālaṅkāra |
| b8 | .... if therefore he thinks each good deed to be the best, |

| a5 | Niemand eben preist sich selbst vor den anderen. (Schmidt 1974: 317) |

Commentary
Philological commentary
| On the verso side this leaf fragment contains the beginning of a colophon in b7; before this, it contains strophes 64-76 in a 4x11-syllable-metre (rhythm = 6/5 or 5/6). The metre in b8 cannot be determined with any certainty. There is no hint that would allow an allocation to any specific varga, and the translation must be regarded as an attempt only. | |
| n1 | The virāma is missing on the m of ṣṣim. |
| n2 | According to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 92 fn. 6 the reading mläṅkṣalle should be corrected to pläṅkṣalle in the transcription. |
| n3 | Emendation according to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 92 fn. 8. |
| n4 | Emendation according to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 93 fn. 1. |
Remarks
| Torn-off right side, about 1/3 of a leaf. |
