Commentary
Linguistic commentary
| n1 | karsanale: Tamai 2009: 662 reads ... sa na la. The classical form of this word is kärsanalle. |
|---|---|
| n3 | wakī-pakeñe: Tamai 2009: 661 reads wa ki pa ke ... suggesting a connection with wāki 'difference' and pakenta 'parts'. In my view, it is more likely that it is one word, and that the last akṣara is a deformed ñe. Obviously, the Tocharian gloss is literal and impossible to understand without recourse to the Sanskrit model. |
| n5 | po o(nolmi). Tamai 2009: 662 reads [v]yo tu. |
Philological commentary
| n2 | karsanale glosses Skt. 'bhijñeyaḥ 'to be recognised (intuitively)'. The r of the akṣara [r]sa is inclined very far to the right and difficult to read. |
|---|---|
| n4 | wakī-pakeñe glosses Skt. viśeṣabhāgīya 'zur Vorzüglichkeit führend' ('leading to excellence', Bechert and Waldschmidt 1973: IV, 137b). |
| n6 | po o(nolmi) glosses Skt. sarv(asatvā) (Hartmann 1991; Mittal 1957: 55, I.9). |
