Commentary
Remarks
| Subgenre uncertain. | |
| According to Broomhead 1962: 273 "[f]our lines written in large ductus, and very clearly preserved". |
Philological commentary
| n1 | (śamñā)ṃśkaṃtsa: oṃ seem excluded. Moreover, instead of soṃśka one might perhaps expect sauśka in this late text. |
|---|---|
| n2 | ṣeṃ: Perhaps ṣai is also possible. |
