Abstract
The Old Uighur fragment (GT15-64) preserved in National Library of China, Beijing and its parallel fragments (Ch/U 6005 + Ch/U 6411 + Ch/U 7287) preserved in the Berlin Turfan collection are different copies of the same text. This text consists of two parts, an adhyesana verse that extols the merit of good deeds, which is immeasurable when one implores the Buddha to turn the dharma-wheel, and a colophon. Although the adhyesana part contains many quotations from the Suvarnaprabhasasutra, the colophon indicates that it is an original literary work by Buddhist monks who praise the Saddharmapundarikasutra.
