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.

Parallel texts

*Fragments A 460-A 466 seem to be a TA rendering of parts of the Dīrghagāma; parallels in TB can be found in PK NS 12 and PK NS 13 and 516. Cf. also Couvreur 1967 on this matter.
