Commentary
Remarks
Philological commentary
| n1 | Based on A 414 b3 and on PK NS 10 b1, together with Ogihara 2009: 482 I would tentatively restore anujānī(yāt) . |
|---|
| n2 | Considering the traces of the aksharas on the fragment, the reading (ka)rmavāñckā is more plausible, pace Ogihara 2009: 482, who proposes (ka)rmavāñcke . |
|---|
Linguistic commentary
| * | The form (ka)rmavāñckā differs from the two forms attested in the corpus, i.e. karmavāckāñce and karmawāckāñce , see Carling and Pinault 2023: 98 s.v. karmavāckāñc* . |
