This may be translated as follows : — 
“ He will be delivered from condign punishment ; and so 
forth (as before down to) even so he will be delivered . . . . , no weapon 
can hurt him, nor poison, nor fire, nor poisonous snake, nor Kakkhordda, 
nor Vait&la, nor can have power over him here (in this world) 
through the natural consequence of his deeds (done) in former exist- 
ences.” Having thus spoken, the Blessed one spoke to the Maharaja, 
the General of the Yakshas (thus) : “Verily, verily, oh Manibhadra ! I 
permit thee 
The brilliant, the glorious (6), they of great strength, of great 
body intently praise Buddha. Gautama, (7) Kumbhakarna, and 
Nikumbha (praise) the Siddhartlia, the invincible, and . . . danta, 
Sahasr&ksha and Pingala, Kapila, Dharmadirna and Ugrateja . . . . , 
they seek thy protection with a well-pleased mind, (9) (saying) as 
follows : “ Kadye, kodyA” 
I do not think that much can be lost at the two sides. Lines 4 and 
5 of the reverse show this. On two other pages the mahdyaksha send- 
pati Manibhadra and four maharaja yakshasendpati are spoken of, which 
shows how the lacuna should probably be filled up. The original size 
can also be calculated from the slokas on the obverse page. This page 
seems to give an enumeration of Mahanagas. Of the slokas, those num- 
bered Nos. 6, 7, 8 and 9 are preserved. The rest is in prose. The 
whole reminds one somewhat of the snake-charm in the Bower MSS., 
which I have published in the Indian Antiquary , vol. XXI, p. 349 ff. 
The full size of the leaf, in its original state, may have been about 
9| inches, inclusive of margins. The figured leaf is the best preserved ; 
some of the others are in a scarcely legible state. But it seems clear 
from what remains that the work contained a charm givon by Buddha 
(Bhagavan) to the Maliayaksha Manibhadra. 
Part VI. See Plate II, fig. 2 . There are five leaves, measuring 7f 
by 2 | inches, with 7 lines to the page. The leaves, though practically 
complete on the left side, are greatly mutilated on the right side, by 
nearly one-third. The characters are another specimen of the round 
variety of the Central Asian Nagari. 
The figured page is the reverse and reads as follows : —
