Commentary
Remarks
| The verso side of this fragment is blank with the exception of two different sequences to be seen in the upper right margin: the first are large akṣaras, almost completely erased, of which traces of “3” are still visible; the second sequence, either originally following the first, or superposed, reads in cursive script: tane puttawante śem\ – /// | |
| The first ‹i› in siddhaṃ (a1) has an elaborated, ornamental bow. |
Philological commentary
| n1 | Judging from the remains, this line seems to contain Sanskrit text. |
|---|---|
| n2 | ṣṣana is the end of an adjective being the complement of the perlative plural swañcaintsa 'rays'. It may be derived from an abstract notion. |
| n3 | For the phrase -ne yku larauñe, cf. THT 244 a5. |
| n4 | ññai is the end of an adjective being the complement of lāṃs 'work'. |
Linguistic commentary
| n5 | Note the preservation of the final -ä in taṅkä. |
