c. I like to remark, without attaching to the observation
lny more certainty than is proper, that fr. B (II seems to agree quite conveniently with the little that remains of this line in the principal leaf. I have already said farther above (1. 40, note 6) why the figure 40, which marks certainly the end of a chapter and the number of verses it contains, appears inaccurate. It is, I am of opinion, 41 or 42 that ought to have been written, and the margin is so little affected that I dare not venture to admit that the index of these units was eaten away.

a. I can make nothing out of what remains of the last
pâda. I regret all the more that the tail of the s, which is clearly recognizable, is traversed by a semicircular stroke, which undoubtedly formed with the auxiliary letter a compound, of which it might have been interesting to fix the value.

a. We have already inet with, and will come across
several times as we proceed, the n surmounted by the stroke of aspiration to express ndh of Sanskrit. I do 1100 here decide what exact pronunciation this orthography corresponds to. The reading jayati appears very certain. We cannot think of jarati, written by y for ', since the first syllable would be short. I can only see in it the equivalent of the PAli yāyali which I lind, for example, in Maharagga, v, 9, 4, and which I interpret as a terin derived by extension from yūli. The j is for y, just as we have often in this manuscript the inverse, y for j.
