Commentary
Parallel texts
Philological commentary
| * | Recto and verso cannot be determined. There may be a meter with a cola of seven syllables in b1 ff. |
|---|
| n1 | Here we have a quotation of Uv 30.11cd without direct translation. It is possible that the two preceding pādas were also quoted before. |
|---|
| n2 | The Sanskrit is corrupt. One may venture to recognize jala-bhujaga- ‘watersnake’. This word is recorded as variant of Skt. uraga- ‘snake’ in a pāda repeated often in the Udānavarga (18.21d; 32.55-80). |
|---|
| n3 | This may be part of a colophon composed in Sanskrit referring to a Kuchean king bearing the Sanskrit name Āryapūṣpa. |
|---|
| n5 | tallā= wnolme stands for tallāw wnolme with sandhi (for tallāu onolme). |
|---|
Remarks
Linguistic commentary
| n4 | If read correctly, śälmoñ would be a nominative plural form of a masculine noun because of śwālyi. In that case this form seems to have mixed the inflection of the stems of class VI.2 (type pyapyo, pyapyaiñ), which show accent shift, with the inflection of the adjective and agent nouns in -mo, which have a nom.pl. in -oñ. It cannot be an agent noun of the type aiśamo, verse form aiśmo, since in this case one would expect †ślamo, †śalmo. |
|---|
| n6 | In both instances one can recognize a well-known Sanskrit compound pratyeka-buddha- lit. ‘Buddha for himself alone’ (cf. Edgerton 1953: 329a), a term which is frequent in Mahāyāna texts. This term has been transposed by simply replacing Skt. buddha- by its TB match, while using a hypercorrect form pratyaika with ‹ai› instead of ‹e›. |
