Commentary

Philological commentary

	A general peculiarity of PK DA M 507.37 is a bow-shaped thick stroke above some akṣaras, the meaning of which is uncertain. It appears above ko ra keṃ in 14, ṣeṃ pu in 16, yi ltse in 20, ya ltse in 31 and na tā in 40. It does not occur in PK DA M 507.36, only in 37.
n1	There's a +-sign above the 'rya'.
n2	There's a +-sign above the 'ṣu'.
n3	It is strange that skāyā- seems to be used with a direct object here, something that is attested nowhere else. Usually skāyā- takes the infinitive or in rare cases mäkte. I translate the word here as 'seek'.
n4	[man]te or [mak]te.
n5	There's a +-sign above the 'i'.
n6	The last few signs in guillemets are actually written in small letters between line 23 and 24. They were added later.
n7	The 'pi' of pi śKA tstsa was used to write over a 're'. It seems the scribe first intended to write *plyeṅksare, but corrected himself by overwriting the 're'.
n8	The last few akṣaras are actually written between line 40 and 41. There is a +-sign above 'ṣa' in e ṅka ra ṣa na.
n9	This probably is not a genitive in -i but a simple scribal error for saṅkayśintse.
n10	This line could suggest that the translation of okoṣe śātre as 'ripened grain' might be wrong.
n11	Might this be a mistake for kanti?
n12	Considering ṣaime a mistake for ṣeme, cf. Ching 2010: 208.
n13	Interpreting eñcilmaṣes as genitive plural of *eñcilmaṣe, this maybe being a late form of *eñcilänmaṣṣe, i.e. the people on whom Puttewante eñcil tesa.
n14	Cf. SI 5872 tseñai keṃ armañik, Ching 2017: 154.
n15	For āś yāmtsi, cf. Sanskrit murdhnā kṛ-
n16	Assuming yamastar = yamastär.
n17	This means that he took control of e.g. Cinasene. This interpretation makes sense, since Puttewante sold Cinasene's daughter, meaning he certainly exerts control on the rightful owner of the field itself.
n18	śallau = śalnaᵤ
n19	For atameṃ = 'away', cf. Peyrot 2008: 165.
