Chapter contains 27 stanzas. . I cannot make anything useful ont of the three
small fragments that figure on the left of the Plate and do not seem to tally with any part of the principal fragment. The one in the middle gives some sure characters:
... kama cithatn ..... where cithatu may be = tixthuntah.
1.madlenamakalıha deranasamidh(i)gat.
Not remembering any parallel passage either in the
Dhammapada or elsewhere, I do not see I have, for the present, anything really useful to say on this fragment. The very mutilation of the words is dont ful. I should only like to remark that the letterst and I are so very similar that one can never be positive over the transcription of the one or the other, as long as the sense of the context is wanting there to guide the reading. The vocalization of the ith of semidhi is only likely. Kabla may very well represent garbhu. I should only like to dwell upon the realling of the last character. It is usually read ph (cf. Bühler), and I myself have read it so in the name Gulupharsa in the inscription of Takht i Bali (Notes in Epigr. Jud., III). But it is, I believe, it transcription that requires to be revised. It is not the normal form of ph, nor its slight variant which is used in this manuscript, e , in the word pihalua (C4, 8) and elsewhere. Is it a double ph or a klouble bh? Besides the present passage
