༄༅། །བར་གཤེགས་པ་མཆོག་གི་དགོངས་པའི་ཚོགས།།
Translation · draft
… the collection of intentions of the supreme one who has passed [into …]—
Left text panel, first line.
The visible verbal phrase begins with བར་; its preceding element is absent from this page and has not been supplied. The translation therefore remains a fragment. The ornamental opening sign is represented conventionally as ༄༅།.

ཇི་བཞིན་གེགས་མེད་ཡོངས་སུ་རྫོགས་པ་དང་། །རབ་དཀར་
Translation · draft
may [they] be completely fulfilled, just as [intended], without obstacles; and the utterly white—
Right text panel, first line; continuation of L1.
རབ་དཀར་ continues into L2; no missing noun has been inserted into the Tibetan.

རྟོགས་པའི་བ་དན་ཆེར་གཡོ་བའི། །སྙིང་པོ་དོན་གྱི་བསྟན་
Translation · draft
whose pennant of realization flutters greatly—the teaching of the essential meaning—
Left text panel, second line; continuation of R1.
བ་དན་ is read from the image as 'pennant'; the OCR hint corrupts this sequence. The final བསྟན་ continues as པའི་ at the beginning of R2. English and Russian fragments follow the Tibetan syntax across panel boundaries.

པའི་རྒྱལ་མཚན་ཆེ། །སྐལ་ལྡན་ལྷ་མིས་མངོན་པར་སྒྲེང་བཞིན་
Translation · draft
[its] great victory banner, being raised prominently by fortunate gods and humans—
Right text panel, second line; continuation of L2.
མངོན་པར་ is a tentative visual reading; the compact letters are less clear than the surrounding text. བཞིན་ continues with དུ་ in L3.
Tibetan transcription · draft
དུ༑ །མི་ནུབ་སྲིད་མཐའི་བར་དུ་བརྟན་གྱུར་ཅིག །ཅེས་ཞི་བར་
Translation · draft
[thus] may it remain firm, without declining, until the end of existence. Thus, for [the supreme one] who has passed into peace—
Left text panel, third line; continuation of R2 and beginning of the colophon.
ཞི་བར་ continues with གཤེགས་པ་ in R3. The English and Russian anticipate that continuation only to make the fragment intelligible. The unusually shaped punctuation after དུ་ is represented as ༑.

གཤེགས་པ་མཆོག་གི་དགོངས་རྫོགས་དང་། ཧོ་ལཎྜའི་ངག་དབང་དངོས་གྲུབ།
Translation · draft
for the fulfillment of the intentions of the supreme one who has passed [into peace], and [with] Ngawang Ngödrub of Holland—
Right text panel, third line; continuation of L3.
The foreign-name spelling ཧོ་ལཎྜའི་ is tentative, especially the conjunct ཎྜ; ནྡ is a possible reading. 'Holland' is the corresponding tentative interpretation. The function of the donor name becomes clear only with the sponsorship wording in L4. No date or identity beyond the printed name is supplied.

དབྱིན་ཇི་ཡེ་ཤེས་མཁའ་འགྲོས་ཡོན་སྦྱར་སྐབས་འབྲུག་གསང་གླིང་མཁན་པོ་འ[?]་དགོན་
Translation · draft
when the English Yeshe Khandro contributed sponsorship, the khenpo of Druk Sang Ling, [?]-Gön—
Left text panel, fourth and smallest line; continuation of R3.
The small-script name after མཁན་པོ་ cannot be read securely. འཛི་དགོན་ is a possible reading, not an established transcription. The writer's designation continues into R4. The panel boundary is not treated as a sentence-ending double shad. དབྱིན་ཇི་ identifies an English/British association; 'English' and 'из Англии' are provisional renderings, not independently verified biographical information.

ནོར་[?]་པ་ནས་བྲིས་པ་དགེ་ལེགས་འཕེལ། །པར་འདི་ཀུ་ལུ་[?]་ལི་མི་ལའི་སྒྲུབ་སྡེར་བཞུགས།།
Translation · draft
Nor-[?]-pa wrote [this]; may virtue and goodness increase. This print is kept at Mila's practice community in Kulu, [?]-li.
Right text panel, fourth and smallest line; continuation of L4 and closing colophon.
The syllable after ནོར་ is unresolved; the OCR suggests ག་, but the image does not establish it securely. The complete personal or institutional designation spanning L4–R4 remains uncertain. The place-name portion between ཀུ་ལུ་ and ལི་ is unresolved. The OCR suggests མུན་; it has not been silently normalized to a familiar place name. པར་ may denote the print/edition or printing blocks. 'Print' is retained provisionally; the precise physical referent is not established. སྒྲུབ་སྡེ་ is translated literally as 'practice community', without identifying a particular institution.

༄༅། །མར་པའི་བསྟན་སྲུང་དུད་སོལ་མ། །
Translation · draft
Dudsolma, guardian of Marpa's teaching.
Caption below the left illustration.
The name is transliterated, not replaced by an identification inferred from the illustration. The ornamental opening sign is represented conventionally.
Tibetan transcription · draft
༄༅། །བྱང་ཆུབ་ཆོས་སྐུའི་མཆོད་རྟེན་ཆེ། །
Translation · draft
The great stupa of the dharmakaya of awakening.
Caption below the central stupa illustration.
ཆེ་ is retained as printed; it is not expanded to ཆེན་པོ་. The final letters are faint, but this is the tentative visual reading.
Tibetan transcription · draft
༄༅། །མི་ལའི་བཀའ་སྡོད་ཚེ་རིང་མ། །
Translation · draft
Tseringma, who abides by Mila's command.
Caption below the right illustration.
བཀའ་སྡོད་ is read visually; it is not normalized to a different conventional epithet. The ornamental opening sign and closing shads are represented conventionally.
Tibetan transcription · draft
ཀ བརྒྱ་ ཞེ་དགུ་[?] མི་ལའི་རྣམ་ཐར་
Translation · draft
Ka. One hundred forty-nine [?]. The liberation-life of Mila.
Narrow left margin, vertical in the supplied image; read after rotating counterclockwise.
The small sign or syllable following ཞེ་དགུ་ is unresolved; the OCR suggests བྱོན་, which is not accepted as certain. The title is retained as the visible marginal form མི་ལའི་རྣམ་ཐར་; no expanded title is supplied. The spacing separates the volume marker, folio number, and marginal title; it does not represent a continuous sentence.

Handwritten Arabic numerals outside the upper-left frame.
This is a non-Tibetan page annotation, included for coverage. The OCR hint's '202' is rejected by visual inspection.

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.
Closing aspirations, patronage and printing notes show how the work is preserved and presented. Some names and places remain uncertain. This leaf supplies bibliographic clues rather than the full narrative ending of Milarepa's life.
