Philological commentary
| n1 | Based on A 251 b1 and A 252 b1, and considering Sieg and Siegling 1921: 164, we could restore kāru(ṃ)(ṣinäṃ) |
|---|---|
| n2 | Based on A 251 b2 and A 252 b2, we could restore ā(kāläntu). |
| n3 | Based on A 251 b3 and A 252 b3, we could restore (a)bhidharmaṃ ptāñkte we(wñunt). |
| n4 | Based on Sieg and Siegling 1921: 164, we could restore (wäknā)on behalf of m-tht1493 a3. |
| n5 | Based on Sieg and Siegling 1921: 164, we could restore pñi(ntu)on behalf of m-tht1493 a4, as well as (ārki)śoṣṣi, given the general context of A 251 b5. |
| n6 | Considering the occurrences of puttiśparṣiin the Maitreyasamiti-Nāṭaka, maybe we could restore (āk)āl, as well as wi(nāsam), based on A 251 b5 (restoration suggested in A 251 by Timothée Chamot-Rooke, see n1 on CEToM). |
| n7 | Maybe we could compare this construction with A 307 b4-b5ārkiśoṣṣis kāswac skā(yluneyntu), see Carling and Pinault 2023: 533, , kāswac skāyluneyo "by striving for the good" |
