In the course of the text, no more numbers of stanzas. These stanzas are wrongly inserted between 3.2a and b. Though they are in themselves logical, it is nevertheless doubtful whether the supplementation was justified since in 1.1,19ff. too, the 2nd and 5th mahāyratas are missing for unknown reasons. The metrically wrong pādas 2c, and afterwards 3c as well as 4b and kammana instead of kammunā do not make the impression of an old text.
(2) Among the mis-carried attempts at suicide of Teyaliputta, 10,1. 12ff-, the one standing in the 2nd place in Nayadh. 1906, is missing. * II has it in the correct place 10,1.14, in the following form (whose spelling mistakes are corrected here). Telali puttenam amaccenam
niluppala-garala-guliya-ayasi-kusuma-p pagāse asi khura-dhare khand hamsi ni patite, se vi ya se asi uccalei, ko me tam sadda-hissati ?
Regarding the Vedha niluppala etc, cp. Uvay. 33.II continues : T.a. mahati-mahalayam rukkham duruhitta påse kahamsi (kandharamsi? nibaddhe, se vi yase päse cchinne ko me t. s. ?
The happening, it is true, is told soniewhat more completely than in the printed text, yet it is still defective, cp Nāyadh. 1905-rukkham durūhati 2ttā pasam rukkhe band hati 2tta appānam muyati, latth'avi ya se rajja chinna.
(3) In 16.1.4.5.7, we find after the verb gijjhai, the abbreviations ajjhosvavajjejja], ajjhoya (vajja]māne, ajjho[vajjejja]. According to 24,1.7. they were to be expected to stand for ajjhovavajjati, but also correspond to Āyāra II 1, 5, 5.
(4) In 20, 1. 22, after esa jīva jiyati, and before etam tam jivitam is added esa mae no -- jivai. This addition does not make much sense between the two statements as to what life consists in.
(5) Again, in the wrong place, like I., namely in 21,1,3, between annana-mulakam khalu bho puvyam and na jānami, stands the following. which also belongs to 20,1.30. di(da?)yānayi...ņa(?) damsaņā iti Ukhalavāiņā arah[ay]a isiņā buiyam. uddham pasya)-tala ahi kese (d.i. ahe keśagga-matthakā) esa āya taya-pari (yante). esa made, etam tam se jaha ņāmae adaddhesu biesu [a]nna ankur'
