IO SAN 3702q

Fragment of the dialogue between Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna

Contents

Language(s): sa

Title: Fragment of the dialogue between Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna

Written in the Nandināgarī character.

A fragment of a dialogue between Kṛṣna and Arjuna regarding the sanctity of the Sauramantra, udyann adya.

The leaf is numbered 170 and the next 172; it contains a long series of namaskāras. Both are so faintly written as to be all but illegible; and the text is incorrect. Two similar leaves, each with only the recto written on, complete the codex.

Incipit: oṃ bhaktyā kṛṣṇaṃ namaskrtya arjunaḥ paripṛchati | trica [...] mahātmyaṃ śrotumicchāmyahaṃ prabho || śrīkṛṣṇa uvāca | arjunasya hitārthāya kṛṣṇo vacanamabravīt | udyannadyoti mantro 'yaṃ sauraṃ pāpapraṇāśanaṃ || f. 1r
