Commentary
Philological commentary
n1 | This line is written backwards on top of the document. The word ātrai is very obscure. Ogihara apud Ching 2017: 102 reads it as ā[ś]rai, connecting it to Sanskrit āśraya- and explaining it as a kind of receipt. But śwasiṣṣe is usually used in front of foodstuffs. Maybe ātrai is a foodstuff? |

n2 | This line is scribbled on the right of line a3. |
