Commentary
Philological commentary

*aṣtamikka certainly is derived from Sanskrit aṣtamī, which seems to be the equivalent of oktaśke. Thus the aṣtamikka-women might fulfill some particular function within the celebration of this day; though they also interact with the saṃgha on days other than oktaśke, cf. PK DA M 507.35 a15. |

This is a turkish proper name, bäg meaning 'lord' and cor being the title of an official, reflected in chinese as 啜 (Zieme 2006: 115-117). It is interesting to note that the voiced 'b' is spelled as 'mp' in this document, while in A 382 a3 the same word is spelled as bhek. |
