British Library fragment Or.8210/S.9498 collated with དབའབཞེད་ (version 1.1)
Description
Comparison of BL S.9498+S.13683 with the DBA' BZHED MS (=DBA' 2000 in our referencing system). The purpose of the comparison is three fold: a) to tentatively reconstruct the disposition of lines and content across the folio from which the fragment came, b) to determine if there is enough space in the reconstructed folio to accommodate the names of the three ministers sent to investigate Śāntarakṣita, and c) to determine the likely position of ན་ visible as a tail in the top missing line.
