As for a possible arrangement of these fragments I suggest the following. Since number 4 is likely to come after 3, and 4 (in 595) appears in line 1 while the two figures for 3 in 80b and 130a) appear in line 2,59b must belong to the verso, and 806 and 130a to the recto of folio 375. I suggest also that 130 be placed to the right of 59 because 3 in 130a concludes the siddhanta reply to the pärvapaksa numbered 3 and concluded in 80b, and thus enough space should separate the two fragments to allow for the siddhanta statement or argument 854 seems closely related to 59 and I tentatively place it to its left (yatha buddha (evam arryah?)... yatharryah evam buddhah). There is no way to determine where 51, 242 and 548 may belong and, therefore, I do not include them. The probable arrangement of 80, 59, 130 and 854 can be represented as follows. Note, however, that the spaces between the fragments are misleading the original leaf was some 40 cm wide,
