For verse 6, cf. Poussin's Documents, Yugav. vy. 41-42 (=Rockhill's Udānavarga, xxix. yo. 45, 44 :
Akstar kukštác clireyaḥ pascat tapati dnşkptar Socate duşktan kptvā socate durgatio gataḥ Kệtan tu (suks)taran Sreyo yat kȚtvá nánutapyate Nandate suksta i kịtvā nandate sugatim gata(h).
"It is better in both (this world and the other) if one has pot done evil, for he who does it will suffer; it is good for one to do what is right, for he will have no affliction."
“He who has done that which is wrong, suffers for it, and when hereafter he will be in the evil way he will snffer; ie who has done that which is right, is made happy, and when hereafter he will be in the happy way he will be happy."
Here is another instance where we find each of the two lines of a verse similar to the Prakrit or the Pâli has been expounded into one complete verse. The order of the two verses thus forined is inverted in the Udānavarya. This fact of inversion of verse-order and the discrepancy of verse-numbers suggest that the Turfan Ms. contains ratber the text of an older compilation of the Udāuavarga, i.e., the original of the text portion of the Chuh-yau-king.
Verse 8=Lévi's Apramādav. v. 20=Rockbill's Udāpavarga, IV. vv. 19-20:
Yeşām tu susamārbdbā nityam kāyagatā emptih Akrtyam te na kurvanti krtye sătatyakariņab Smrtānan sami prajānānām astar gacchanti asravāh.
“ He who comprehends the pature of the body, who reflects, and whose exertions are unceasing, does not wbat ought not to be done, and does what ought to be done."
"He, therefore, with memɔry and understanding will put an end to his misery, and when he has put an end to his misery (ās rava), he will find the untroubled state.”
