Commentary
Remarks
| Any restoration which is not commented in the following notes comes from Sieg and Siegling 1921: 231. | |
| 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
| n1 | Sieg and Siegling 1921: 231 already restore (kṣipram) (eva) (niga)cchatiin footnote n.1, but not in the transcription. |
|---|---|
| n2 | The Sanskrit text has rājato hy upasargaṃ, hy apasargaṃis probably a scribal error. |
| n3 | I restored śarīra(sya)according to the Sanskrit source, Ud. 28,28. |
| n4 | I restored (a)thāaccording to the Sanskrit source, Ud. 28,28, but here there might be a scribal error, triggered by the context, as we have athāpi vāin Ud. 28, 28, directly followed by atha vāsyāpyin Ud. 28,29. |
| n5 | I restored (du)rgatiṃaccording to the Sanskrit source, Ud. 28, 29. |
| n6 | Given the Sanskrit source, i.e. Ud. 28, 30 pāpe tu kṛte hi nāśvasec cirakṛte dūrakṛte ’pi nāśvaset(cf. also the Tibetan translation: ring byas rgyang mar byas kyang bag mi dbab), we could tentatively restore (yā)muntaṃ lok. The restoration of (yā)muntaṃis also proposed by Carling and Pinault 2023: 364 s.v. yām-. |
