Translation
| a1 | ... they [= the Brahmins] will eat me up. Be [my] (shelter) [and] refuge!" |
|---|---|
| a2 | ... he [= king Araṇemi] fell to the ground. Thereupon a great (voice) of lamentation ... |
| a3 | ...threatening the prince Uttara with harsh words, they [= the Brahmins] speak to him: |
| a4 | ... you are (now our) slave, and your father you will not see [ever again]!” |
| a5 | ... they [= the Brahmins] crossed the border of the land of king (A)raṇemi. .... |
| b1 | ... he calls the prince Uttara: “My dear little son Uttara! ... |
| b2 | From (your) mouth I want to hear one word! You are [now] far from me.” .... |
| b3 | “... he turns in [every] direction, but not a dear (word) from your mouth (he hears).” |
| b4 | In [the tune] (chanda)kanivartaṃ || “Through the separation of [my] dear little son from me ... |

Commentary
Parallel texts
| THT 85 b 4ff., THT 87 a 1-5 |
Philological commentary
| This leaf contains a parallel to THT 85 b 4ff. and THT 87 a 1-5 (although the latter is very fragmentary). THT 87 directly follows THT 85 (they belong to the same manuscript). | |
| The translation here follows Schmidt 2001: 315-6. | |
| n1 | Note that the parallel text THT 85 b 5 has the feminine orottsa kwasalñeṣṣa weśeñña; therefore, Thomas in Sieg and Siegling 1983: 240 suggests to restore simple masculine wek here. |
| n3 | The direct speech of the Brahmins differs in THT 85 b 6. |
| n4 | This line can be merged with THT 87 a 4: /// (we)ṣṣäṃ || (chanda)kanivartaṃne || ñiśmeṃ tsrorsa larepi soṃśke(nts)e ///. |
Linguistic commentary
| n2 | In contrast to the parallel text THT 85 b 6, we have here a simplification of the 2sg. Prs nest. |
