Commentary
Philological commentary
| n1 | toṃand taucould easily be confused, but only toṃmakes sense in this context. |
|---|---|
| n2 | At the end of the line, one may restore pälkṣantär‘they burn’. |
| n3 | Maybe to be restored as ṣañ ñem, presumably ‘by oneself’, see // s· araṃśne salāte-ne • kUcatākmeṃ ṣañem ette ṣallāte •‘… hüpfte in ihrem Herzen, [und] sie stürzte sich vom Söller herab’ (THT 109 b2; tr. Schmidt 1974: 279, 311). |
| n4 | This translation of caṅke will be justified in a forthcoming publication. |
