Philological commentary

n1	Uv.11.8d duḥkhāś copacitā bhavāḥ. In the Tocharian translation, lä(k)l(e) 'sorrow' is singular, unlike Skt. duḥkhāś, which is plural.
n2	Uv.11.9c pāpā hi karmabhiḥ pāpair
n3	Uv.11.10a yo ’sāv atyantaduḥśīlaḥ
n5	Uv.11.10d-11a yathainaṃ dviṣa-d icchati // 10 sthaviro na tāvatā bhavati
n6	10: something that might be the stroke of 11 is seen above, but we expect just 10 because pāda 11 follows.
n7	Uv.11.11d mohajīrṇaḥ sa ucyate
n8	Uv.11.12b-c prahāya brahmacaryavān / viśreṇayitvā carati
n9	Uv.11.13b hy avṛtas tv anṛtaṃ vadan; the hiatus-resolving hy is lacking in this version (this occurs frequently with these pādas divided in two, because there is no hiatus anyway, cf. Thomas 1974: 82, Thomas 1977a: 271 and e.g. THT 101 a3 as(m)iṃ for hy asmiṃ).

Linguistic commentary

n4	sāñ: a variant of sān, nom.sg. ‘enemy’, in sandhi before the following ñäṣträ.
