Announcements

  • The Zotero library underlying the CEToM bibliography is now public and can be viewed here.
  • We would like to thank Prof. Dr. Thomas Oberlies and Pratik Rumde from the Seminar für Indologie und Tibetologie of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen for providing our project with scans of the nachlass of Wilhelm Siegling. The nachlass includes letters to and from Siegling throughout his career that are of great importance to the history of the field of Tocharian studies. This material will be published on CEToM, accompanied by transcriptions of the letters, in the course of 2024.

Philological commentary

n1 A little piece is probably wrongly attached to the left; it is not considered in the transliteration.
n2 Uv.32.49c yaś ca dveṣakṣayaṃ prāptaḥ
n3 Uv.32.50b marditā grāmakaṇṭakāḥ
n4 Uv.32.50d sa vai bhikṣur nirucyate
n5 Uv.32.54b hy ākrośāś ca vadhāś ca bandhanaṃ ca
n6 of the k only minimal rests can be seen. If nākälñe /nákəlńe/ ‘reproach’ has a pl. nakalñenta /nakə́lńenta/, we could nevertheless equate ākrośāś ca and identify it as Uv. 32.54b.
n7 Uv.32.54d sukhaduḥkhena na vethate sa bhikṣuḥ
n8 Uv.32.55a yo nātyasaraṃ na cātyalīyaṃ
n9 Uv.32.55c sa tu bhikṣur idaṃ jahāty apāraṃ
