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. |
