Commentary
Remarks
| Transcription and translation are based on Carling et al. 2009. | |
| Transcription and references have been transferred from the "Text and Reference Database of the Tocharian A Language" (Gerd Carling Lund University) (funded by the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation and SCAS). |
Philological commentary
| n1 | Translation and restoration from Carling and Pinault 2023: 286, s.v. . |
|---|---|
| n2 | Restoration of (spa)ktāṃproposed by Sieg and Siegling 1921: 112. |
| n3 | Alternatively, one could restore (ṣā)mañi le, as in (ṣā)mañi le(ṃ)´a monk´s cell´. |
| n4 | Reading prutkoalready in Sieg and Siegling 1921: 112, as well as in Carling and Pinault 2023: 312, s.v. . A tentative restoration might be prutko(ṣ), considering the m.pl. forms recurring in the text, the ligature and maybe #ERROR#ref a7? |
| n5 | Tentative restoration: (ṣu)tkäm, ´stake, pin, peg´, see Carling and Pinault 2023: 492 s.v. .. |
| n6 | A tentative translation of spaktāṃmight be ´religious service´ as in Hackstein et al. 2014: 53-54, where spaktāṃcorresponds to Skt. adhiśīla ´superior morality´; in the same passage, tärkā-´let go, dismiss´, together with cowai, is translated as ´to steal, to rob´. Otherwise, maybe tärkā-means ´to neglect´, as in the TA expression ārtak tärkā-, TB ārtte tärk-, see TB #ERROR#ref a2 ´I neglected´. |
