<p><!--

Bhandarkar does not supply the lost portions, but he does edit this specimen separately. I follow Agrawala's reconstruction of specimen A for reconstructing this one.

--><!--

Note that if Bhandarkar is right in reading utpanno at the end of l3 (I have no facsimile), then line 4 is not very likely to begin with svayam. I've kept this inconsistency for now; pending an autopsy, it should probably be read as utpann(a)/[*ssvayaṁ] or the reconstruction should be changed.
