Commentary

Philological commentary

*The meter at the beginning seems to consists of seven-syllable cola. Maybe 4 x 14; the one beginning in b3 is unclear.
n1The reading lokanma is certain, one cannot restore ślokanma or sklokanma.
n2kaccalyasa is the perl.sg. of an action noun kaccalya, but the obl.sg. is so far known as kaccalyai. The present form is due to a mistake or to analogy. The next word yokasso has to be a form of an adj. yokassu*, according to a productive pattern in -ssu; the precise case form is uncertain, but if it is true that we have a seven-syllable meter, the nom.pl.masc. yokassoñc or obl.sg.masc. yokassont are to be preferred.
n3sämpāre is a 3.pl. Pt I form of a yet unattested root sämp- or sämpā-.
n4nal is certain; the damaged lower part looks like 〈s〉 at first glance, but the bow is far too much drawn to the left; it is rather part of a 〈ra〉 or 〈ū〉.
n5ppyā starts another ipt. form, which, however, cannot be one made from a root in p-, because those do not have the ipt. particle p(ä)-; the double pp is rather due to sandhi.

Remarks

*Right part with the right margin, recto and verso are uncertain.
