Commentary
Philological commentary
Ogihara 2009: 278 places this fragment in the section of the pātayantikas about the ordination ritual (Waldschmidt 1926: 133-152; Pāt.106-125 of the Sarvāstivādins). In particular, he adduces ṣäk 'six' and pukäl'year'. While ṣäk 'six' might lead to a refinement of the classification, pukäl'year' occurs too often to be of any help. A further indication of appurtenance to the ordination section is upādhyāyi 'female teacher', which appears to be the Tocharian A equivalent of Skt. upādhyāyā 'female teacher'. | |
| n1 | ākläṣlyāṃ: this is probably the attestation noted in Sieg et al. 1931: 64 as "Frgm.". |
| n2 | ākläṣlyāṃ yāmitär: ākläṣlyāṃ is an obl.sg.; probably, the phrase pattern goes kus ne aśi ... ākläṣlyāṃ yāmitär, meaning 'Which nun does (ordination) to a female disciple who ...', i.e. 'Which nun ordinates a female disciple who ...' (cf. also a4). |
| n3 | ṣäk mä(rkampaläntu): cf. 'welche nicht zwei Jahre lang die sechs dharmas studiert hat', which occurs e.g. Sarv.Pāt.111, 112, 121, 122 (Waldschmidt 1926: 138-141. |
| n4 | wikāṣṣ-ä(ṃ): pace Ogihara 2009: 278, who claims that ṃ is excluded, the paper on top of the s̝s̝ais abraded and an anusvāra may be lost. However, it cannot be ruled out that the word division is rather wikāṣ ṣä ///. As Ogihara 2009: 278 remarks, this will be the attestation wikāṣṣä .. noted in Sieg et al. 1931: 472 as "Frgm.". |
Remarks
| The lower margin of the recto (upper of the verso) is preserved. In one frame with A 408.j-A 408.m and A 408.o-A 408.r. Ogihara 2009: 278 suggests that THT 3349 and THT 3335 may belong to the same leaf as is this fragment; he further considers the possibility that also A 408.q and A 408.r belong to the same leaf. Since this fragment belongs to the vinaya, it is assumed that it belongs to manuscript A 415-416, not to A 406-408. |
