Commentary

Philological commentary

Note that the recto and verso of the fragment A 463 have to be reversed, cf. Couvreur 1967: 163.
n1This line corresponds to A 461 and A 465 a3.
n2This line corresponds to A 461 and A 465 a4.
n3This line corresponds to A 461 and A 465 b2.
n5This line corresponds to A 461 and A 465 b4.
n6This line corresponds to A 461 and A 465 b5.
n7The nt-participle yänmāṣṣeñcaṃ shows the late form of the nominative plural ending instead of standard -añ.
n8This line corresponds to A 463 a4 ‹ b4.
n9The form (ta)nmaṣṣitär is 3sg middle of the Kausativ of the root täm- 'to produce', cf. Malzahn 2010: 653.
n10This line corresponds to A 463 a5 ‹ b5.

Remarks

The little fragment PK NS 516 completes the fragment PK NS 13 on the left side. The resulting fragment belongs to the middle part of a leaf including the right part of the string hole. The fragment belongs to a leaf of the same manuscript to which PK NS 12 belongs. The text contains Tocharian B translations of words and phrases of the Śrāmaṇyaphalasūtra. Some of them have parallels in Tocharian A, namely A 460 and A 466, A 461 and A 465.

Linguistic commentary

n4The form puttaṅgaṃ is a misspelling for puttaṅkäṃ as translation of Skt. vibhajati and it matches Tocharian A putäṅkāṣ as restored in A 461 and A 465 b4.
