Commentary
Philological commentary
| n1 | There is an odd metathesis of 'm' and 'n' in this form - we would expect saṅkrāmne (from skr. saṃghārāma-. |
|---|
| n2 | sic! for some reason, the fremdzeichen 'L' is used instead of the regular sign. |
|---|
| n3 | It could either be yap, ysāre, āka, āka lyekśiye or śātre, given the other attestations of śwasiṣṣe. |
