Commentary
Remarks
| 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. | |
| The leaf number is found not in the left margin, but in the string hole space. Note that in this manuscript margin number and string-hole number often deviates. |
Philological commentary
| n1 | bodhipakṣa: cf. Edgerton 1953: 402b ("assistant, aid, to enlightenment"). See also YQ N.2 and N.6 b1. |
|---|---|
| n2 | r: perhaps a middle imperative, for instance (pälkā)r. |
| n3 | naṃ: the last part of the name of a tune. Since the pāda end indications exclude a 4-line metre of equal pādas, the metre must have unequal pādas. The position of the pāda end indications corresponds to for instance A 8 a4-b1 in the same manuscript, which has the tune ṣaḍap devadattenaṃ with the metre 20/22/10/15. Most probably the same metre is found here. Possible tunes are: devadattenaṃ, ṣaḍap devadattenaṃ, subhadrenaṃ, samakkorenaṃ. |
| n4 | (yo)ktsi: end of pāda 1a. 16 syllables missing at the end of line b3. |
| n5 | (pre)tāsäṣ: end of pāda 1b. 16 syllables missing at the end of line b4. At the end of line b5 17 syllables are missing. |
| n6 | ñäktas napeṃ: probably either a loc.pl. ñäktas napeṃsaṃ (A 62 b1, YQ II.14 a6) or a gen.pl. ñäktas napeṃśśi (A 249 a4, YQ II.5 b2). |
