The concluding portion of the fifty-third The sabstance of the portion on Plate I had sutra on the above page has been already been already briefly explained, in Note 6, p. 47 transcribed and translated in my previous above, but for the sake of completeness I account of the MS., ante, pp. 41 and 44. I repeat it. The portions of the twenty-fifth proceed to do the same with the remainder sůtra represented on Plates I, and II, belong of the page, as well as with the portions of the to the latter part of it, and comprise four of its twenty-fifth sůtra contained in Plates I and II. examples, vix, from the tenth to the thirteenth.
1 The transcripts are again made from the original, as the lithographs are not quite perfect. The statements on the plates which reverse the position of the two pages are incorrect.
The two pieces at the upper right-hand corner have
got displaced. The lower of the two pieces should be reversed, and joined on to the top of the upper of the two pieces, and then the joint-piece should be brought down to the main piece.
