Translation
| a1 | ... (Thereupon the king) speaks, looking with [his] blue eyes onto the ministers: “Do not scold [me]! |
|---|---|
| a2 | ... did he not also (?) stand by [my side]? Therefore I, too, must bear the vexation of instruction from him.” |
| a3+ | Thereupon (the ministers) standing with threatening (?) swords at the door of the Dānaśāla with deference spoke to the king: |
| a4 | || In the P.-( tune): || “By the good nature [of your] kingship you have seized our heart. You are a sanctuary of virtue. |
| a5 | (There is (?)) none that is to be praised more (?). And we [are], o lord, not able to bear this your anger. |
| a5+ | This rākṣasa of human birth must quickly go away from this country. |
| b1 | 1. Sadly the king speaks: |
| b1+ | “From a father all are to be protected from danger. |
| b2 | How [can] you command me to drive away [my] own teacher from the country?” The ministers speak: |
| b2+ | Whether the lord keeps this Brahmin or whether he keeps us, |
| b3+ | yet with such an enemy of the lord we (are) not able (to cooperate (?)) ... |
| b4 | Confused the king speaks: |
| b4+ | “Alas, I have truly run into danger. How... |
| b5 | When (the ministers) (did not) obtain the consent of the king, below the hall, leaning upon [their] swords, (they asked him) (...) (again as follows): |
Other
| a3 | Darauf die (Minister), mit drohenden(?) Schwertern an der Tür der Dānaśālā stehend, ... (Schmidt 1974: 355, fn. 1) |
|---|---|
| a4 | Durch die gute Art [deines] Königtums hast du unser Herz ergriffen. (Schmidt 1974: 395) |
| a5+ | This rākṣasa of human birth must quickly go away from this country. (cf 36; 305) (Peyrot 2013c: 222) |
| b2+ | Die Minister sprechen: "Ob der Herr diesen Brahmanen oder uns behält, wir aber (sind) nicht imstande, mit einem derartigen Feind des Herrn (in diesem Lande zu bleiben(?))." (Schmidt 1974: 398) |
Commentary
Remarks
| 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). | |
| Transcription and translation are based on Carling et al. 2009. | |
| This fragment must be placed after A 344 and, according to Sieg 1952: 35-6, after A 343. Schmidt 2001a: 305, 308 places A 342 first. |
Parallel texts
| THT 79 |
Philological commentary
| A conversation between the king and his ministers. The overlaps with THT 79 are particularly noticeable here. Continues (after a gap) THT 77 and is in turn continued by THT 80. The translation follows Schmidt 2001a: 305-6, Sieg 1952: 36 and Carling et al. 2009. For the Uyghur version, see Schmidt 2001a: 306; Hamilton 1986: 10. | |
| Ms should be turned around. | |
| n3 | This tune has 4x14 syllables, rhythm 7/7. THT 79 also has a tune inserted at this point, but of different name and metre. |
Linguistic commentary
| n1 | tam 'also(?)'; alternatively, Couvreur 1954c: 261 suggests to read täm 'there, then' instead. |
|---|---|
| n2 | śālyis 'of (the) hall', gen. sg. of śāl or alternatively, according to Couvreur 1954c: 261 and parallel to the case of ñäkcyis : ñäkc(i)yās, it may stand for śālyās, obl. pl. fem. of śālyi 'left'. In this latter case one would have to supplement śālyis po(ṣṣāsā). |
