What is Fragment of the Saka version of the Dharma?ar?ra-s?tra from the N. E. Petrovsky collection about?

Collection of the Leningrad Branch of the Institute of Asia of the USSR Academy of Sciences comprises two folios containing a Saka text which in our opinion is a part of the Saka version of the Sanskrit Dharma~arh'a-sfara. This opinion is confirmed not only by the contents of the text itself but by the fact that the title of the Sanskrit original is mentioned in it.\* Before this only one very short text (one folio) of the Sanskrit Dharma-~arfra-sfttra was known. It had been discovered in Idikut~ahri (Eastern Turkistan) and was published in 1904 by H. Strnner. 1 The Saka text under review, though similar in a number of Buddhist terms to the Sanskrit one from Idikutgahri, is not a direct Saka version of the latter. It agrees more closely with the text of a manuscript containing another Sanskrit DharmaAarira, which is also kept in the above \* Abbreviations used in this paper are as follows: Asmussen -J. P. Asmussen, The Khotanese Bhadracaryade~an& Text, Translation and Glossary, together with the Buddhist Sanskrit Original (= Det Kgl. Danske Videnskabernes Selskab, historisk-filologiske Meddelelser, XXXIX, 2) (Copenhagen, 1961).
