Commentary
Remarks
| Part of a "Nonnenritual", as noticed by Sieg and Siegling 1921: 229 and confirmed by Ogihara 2009: 481. |
Philological commentary
| n1 | Ogihara 2009: 481 restores (kiṃ saṃgha)sya k(araṇīyam). |
|---|---|
| n2 | Ogihara 2009: 481 restores (āroci)tañ ca : prave(dayataḥ), but, based on the traces of the akshara, telooks more plausible. It also corresponds to the Sanskrit text of the Prātimokṣa-sūtra (von Simson 1986), showing ārocite ca pravedayataḥ. |
| n3 | cf. /// racintā A 415 b3. |
| n4 | Based on the context, I would tentatively restore (saṃ)ghena. |
