Manuscript Features
After the colophon, a later hand begins copying some another cikitsā text, most probably the Maṇḍakalpa, by Nāgārjuna. Only five lines of this second text is covered. Here is the opening:
- Oṃ namo buddhāya ||
- nāgārjuna (!) mahāprājñaṃ sarvaśāstraviśārada (!) |
- susaṃkṣiptavicitsārthaṃ (!) āryadevo mahātapāḥ ||
- kāruṇyāt sarvasatvānāṃ daridrāṇāṃ tathā paraṃ |
- praṇamya parayā bhaktyā sāraṃ samparipṛcchati ||
- katham alpocāreṇa (!) rogopasamanam bhavet |
- ity āha bhagavān maṇḍakalpaṃ sarvasukhāvahaṃ || etc.
