Commentary
Philological commentary
| nauṣaññe taruṇadi(vākar) in line a3 will have the same metre as taruṇadivākar, that is a, b, d: 7 ¦ 7 ¦ 5 and c: 5 ¦ 5 (Adams 1999: 281). Indeed, : ceṃts läklentaṣṣe trikau traikesa : in line a4 is 5 ¦ 5 and must therefore be pāda c. | |
| – pāda missing completely – [1a] (19 syllables missing) [a4] /// (la)kau karuṃ cwī : [1b] (15 syllables missing) ceṃts läklentaṣṣe ¦ trikau traikesa : [1c] – pāda missing completely – [1d] (19 syllables missing) cf. the metre in a5 is also found in IOL Toch 36 a5. Beginning and end of the strophes in b5-7 cannot be established, but the metre may be 4 x 5 ¦ 7: [b5] /// māka : waiptār klautkentsa ¦ ere slaṅtar parre ra : lkātsi [b6] /// ·u yāmar ¦ ceṃts läkleṣṣe perpette : stamoym eṃ [b7] (ṣke) /// -lm· : klyomñe aiśamñe ¦ ersna krenta peñīyo : po su | |
| n1 | (takarṣ)käññesa, (añmālaṣ)käññesa |
| n2 | raitwenta, pwenta |
| n3 | naitwe: temple, mud?? NO: nai twe |
| n4 | cf. IOL Toch 1 b3 ts(e)naṃ pilkosa yokamane ram no āñmalāṣṣälñesa – /// |
| n5 | mā = māka 'very'/ māntsatsi 'be sad'? |
| n6 | parre: probably a mistake for prere 'arrow' (see preresa b3). |
Remarks
| a4: on the left, 4 akṣaras for vākar || are missing, and 34 more syllables according to the metre. Thus, approximately 40 akṣaras are in total missing on the left. Probably, the string hole space covered this line, so that in lines 1-3 and 6-8 even more akṣaras may be missing. | |
| According to Broomhead 1962: 168 "[w]ritten in very large ductus, and clearly preserved, it is the right edge of an eight line manuscript." |
