Translation · draft
… all living beings encompassed by time; adventitious bewilderment concerning their phenomena …
Main text, right panel, row 3
The grammatical scope of the preceding list is uncertain. གློ་བུར་ continues into the darkness phrase at L4. The translation is deliberately fragmentary.

མུན་པ་མཐའ་དག་རབ་བསལ་ནས། །དུག་མདའི་[?]དབང་གིས་
Translation · draft
… having thoroughly dispelled all darkness. Through the power of “poison — arrow” [?] …
Main text, left panel, row 4
དུག་མདའི་ is a provisional visual reading supported by the OCR hint; its interpretation requires checking with the continuation. No words from the following page are supplied. Editor: The visible word arrow is retained, but its relation to poison and possible poetic number-word use remain unconfirmed. The two literal words are separated by a dash, not normalized to a poisoned or poison-coated arrow. [?] retains the uncertainty; no digit or doctrinal reconstruction is supplied.

[?]མི་དགེ་ཕྱོགས་དང་མཚམས་བྲལ་ཕུང་པོས་འཕངས་པའི་ལམ་
Translation · draft
[?] nonvirtue; devoid of directions and intermediate directions; the path along which [something is] hurled by the aggregates …
Main text, right panel, row 4
Opening span unresolved. ཕུང་པོས་ is provisional. The surviving words do not establish a reliable complete sentence; translations give local literal fragments only. The final ལམ་ is preserved without adding a continuation.

How to read this leaf
Matreya's editorial interpretation, prepared with AI assistance and not specialist-reviewed. It is separate from the translated source and is not an authoritative doctrinal commentary.
The homage uses sky, clouds and rays of love to frame the teacher reverentially. The image of dispelling ignorance introduces the religious register of the account; it is not a literal physical description.
