Philological commentary
| Includes strophes 7c-18c of the Tṛṣṇāvarga (III) and directly continues THT 8, but considering the small size of the fragment – two thirds of the leaf are missing – and the complexity of the subject matter – it is a description of the Aśubhabhāvanā, i.e. meditation on the impurity or the abomination of the body – much remains unclear and uncertain, and the translation must be taken as an attempt only.The German translation in Sieg and Siegling 1949: 16 quotes Abhidhk VI 10a-b as a reference for ease of understanding. | |
