Commentary
Linguistic commentary
| The spelling llya for the nom.sg.f. ending of the gerund for usual lya is striking, but need to reflect anything in real speech. Should it stand for some speech-real phenomenon, then it would obviously be a palatalisated geminate /ĺĺ/. |
Parallel texts
| PK NS 95; Rosen 1959: 112-116 |
Remarks
| Upper, lower, and right margins preserved. Pace Ogihara 2009: 93, Broomhead 1962: 84 is probably right that the string hole space is preserved in lines a4 and b3, and probably also in a3 and b4. Thus the leaf may have been relatively small, i.e. not wider than approximately 15 cms. | |
| Broomhead 1962: 84 describes the ms as "[w]ritten in medium ductus, and clearly preserved, but the manuscript is blackened both sides, worse on the verso". |
Philological commentary
| n1 | īkene: the first akṣara is probably to be read as ī, not i (pace Broomhead 1962: 84; Ogihara 2009: 93). |
|---|---|
| n2 | (ma wara)ñcäcce meltesa käccillya: the restoration of this clause is difficult. Following Broomhead 1962: 84, 89 and Hilmarsson 1996: 113, Ogihara 2009: 333-334 restores (śi)ñcäcce meltesa käccillya and translates "/// it should not be put down on the on snow-covered dung.". This expression is not found in the Chinese parallel that he adduces. However, he underlines "You should not wash it with the sand and the dung.", his translation of 不應以雜沙牛屎洗。, meaning that this passage is also found in the Tocharian B text (cf also Rosen 1959: 113 "Der Mönch [...] muß ermahnt werden, [...] sie nicht mit Sand oder Kuhurin zu reinigen"). As far as I can see, it is not necessary to restore /// ñcäcce as (śi)ñcäcce: many more words in -ñce could form an adjective in -tstse. One of these is warañce 'sand', which seems to fit the context better: 以雜沙牛屎 'with a mix of sand and cow dung' may have been warañcäcce meltesa, literally 'with sandy cow dung', in Tocharian B. The next problem is the verb kətt- or kətk-, traditionally 'put down' (Hilmarsson 1996: 113; Adams 1999: 159), but in fact the passages hardly allow us to establish its meaning. On the basis of the passage under discussion, one would rather expect something like 'wash, scour', which fits käccīyeṃ-ne THT 22 b5 perfectly: 'Two (hell guards) scoured his body with gravel'. käccītär THT 33 b5 is more difficult to interpret. It is clearly a bad wish to an honourable person by a jealous person. Perhaps 'he should be scoured together with this or that one' is also a possibility there. |
| n3 | s·: pace Ogihara 2009: 93, who reads ·[s]·, the s is not uncertain and it is not lowered. |
| n4 | läntsa: for this hapax legomenon, Ogihara 2009: 335 plausibly suggests the meaning 'excrement', based on the assumption that the word is borrowed from Skt. laṇḍa 'excrement'. A minor point is that we would rather expect lānt, i.e. /lant/, not /lənt/. |
| n5 | mäkte: seems to stand for makte 'self', not for mäkte 'how, so' (pace Broomhead 1962: 89; not translated by Ogihara 2009: 334). |
| n6 | rī(talle): Ogihara 2009: 335 restores rī(tatar), which is grammatically also possible. |
| n7 | tākañca: for tākañc, i.e. tākaṃ-c. |
| n8 | /// -māne yayāṣṣoṣ: some of these akṣaras are damaged, but the reading is certain, pace Broomhead 1962: 184, who reads /// (ṣa)[mān]e ya[yā]ṣṣoṣ (followed by Ogihara 2009: 93). |
| n9 | Ogihara 2009: 93 reads the first damaged akṣara as [60]. |
| n10 | yāṣtra: this is the correct reading (Peyrot 2007: №7), pace Broomhead 1962: 84, who reads yaṣtra (followed by Ogihara 2009: 93). |
| n11 | watka: a mistake for watkäṣṣäṃ (Thomas 1954: 727). |
