## Edition

⟨1⟩ […][.]ā vāca(kāna) [1×] ⟨2⟩ […] [.]isirina A⟨3⟩[…]
(A)khaya-ni⟨4⟩[vī] […]ni ca ⟨5⟩ […] (t)āna

## Apparatus

⟨1⟩ vāca(kāna) • We are tempted to think the original text may have had
an expression similar to EIAD 6, l. 11,
dīgha-majhima-paṁcamātuka-desaka-vācakānaṁ.

⟨2⟩ [.]isirina • Perhaps restore [dh]isirina. Cf. EIAD 105, l. 18,
Ācariya-budhisirina.

## Bibliography

Estampage included in the presentation given by Munirathnam at
Pondicherry in 2017, but we are not aware of this fragment having been
included in any ARIE yet. What remains of the text is deciphered by Arlo
Griffiths & Vincent Tournier from photos provided by M.A. Vasu and
Nagaraju (2024).[1]

since been merged into EIAD 107.
