Here's an interesting alternate form: End of line "sādhayāmi maha": [image: image.png] Beginning of next line: [image: image.png] The reading should be "sādhayāmi mahārasaṃ|| 97". It looks as if the scribe here has failed to make the "ha" at the end of the first line dīrgha, so he's compensated at the start of the next line with that avagraha-like sign. Is it meant to be a "2", for "2-mātras" maybe? Has anyone else seen this scribal usage? Best, Dominik
