Remarks

Since the text is only extant in a single manuscript (which is incomplete) and since the folios containing the malkəʾ lack any rubrics, it is quite difficult to identify the name of the subject, which is blank in stanzas 2–17. The reference to Śaraqa Bərhān in stanza 1 is the only reliable clue.
