Commentary
Philological commentary
| Tentatively restoration based on A 16 b1, A 276 a7 and A 156 b6. | |
| n1 | Accoring to Carling and Pinault 2023: 333, s.v. masäk, and based on A 400 b3, one could tentatively restore jātakṣi (maskas). |
| n2 | The restoration l(e)kwas already proposed by Sieg and Siegling 1921: 225. As for riñmār marä, maybe we should segment it as riñmār mar ä? |
| n3 | Based on the context, the restoration (ptāñ)kät käṣṣinäṣ wast(e)seems plausible. |
| n4 | The form (pra)käsmār-ä(m)was already proposed by Sieg and Siegling 1921: 225. |
