Commentary

Remarks

Part of a "Nonnenritual", as noticed by Sieg and Siegling 1921: 229. The name wäryacintā appears in A 408.p a4;, b1, A 416 a3, probably in A 416.a b3 and, according to Ogihara 2009: 474, also in m-tht4026 a2. Fragments A 415-416 have been identified as Karmavācanā by Ogihara 2009: 481.
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.

Philological commentary

n1I restored śaiyy(ā)s(a)na according to Carling and Pinault 2023: 474, s.v. śaiyyāsana; cf. also A 416.a a2.
n2Based on A 416 a3 and according to Carling and Pinault 2023: 438, s.v. Wäryacintā, we can safely restore wärya(cintā) both here and in line b2.
