Commentary
Philological commentary
| n1 | The syntax in b1-b3 is rather imperspicuous. It's especially unclear what the infinitive nestsi (which Filliozat simply doesn't transcribe!) is doing here. |
|---|---|
| n2 | panitäntse of Filliozat/Broomhead is not possible. The vertical extent of the last akṣara is not consistent with ntse. |
