a5	and a monk [that had/has been] living/staying in the Jetavana earlier

b1	for, if like gold [is] your mind, without ...
b2	shall (blow away?) the dirt of the (own) self. This the (man) grasped ...
b3	(to his own (?) best). There first step by step (in the Kausala-countries) ...

*	Uv 2.9-2.10

*	Kāmavarga (II), part 1. Due to the loss of two thirds of the leaf as well as all strophe numbering, the coherence of the text has suffered badly and so has the translation’s. The metre is 4x13 + 21 syllables in a 5/8 and 8/8/5 rhythm, but it is impossible to define individual verses with any certainty.
n1	Emendations according to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 151.
n2	Emendation according to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 151.
n3	Emendation according to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 31 fn. 1.
n4	Emendation according to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 31 fn. 2.
n5	Emendation according to Sieg and Siegling 1983: 31 fn. 3.

*	The original manuscript is missing, but was the left hand side of leaf 30 to the schnurloch. About 3/4 of the leaf (of ca. 40 syllables) were missing for each line. The script was severely attrited in some places.
