Philological commentary

n1: this sequence occurs in Uv.18.14-16. It is probably Uv.18.16 in view of line a5.
n2: this sequence occurs in Uv.18.17-18. In view of line a4, it is probably Uv.18.17.
n3Following Peyrot 2016b: 193, we can restore kärṣtoräṣ t(maṃ).
n4Following Peyrot 2016b: 193, we can restore mäñc me(nāk), which should correspond to Skt. phenopamaṃ ´like foam´, Tib. dbu ba ´dra ´id.´.
