Commentary
Remarks
| “T III S 51” only to be found on tag/label. |
Linguistic commentary
| n1 | Note the spelling ña for regular ñä in the first syllable. |
|---|---|
| n4 | rätrona 'red' is a pl.fem. |
| n5 | Note that kseññe° is a late form for kselñe 'nirvāṇa' (Peyrot 2008: 64). |
Philological commentary
| n2 | glosses Skt. [v]y·, which can be restored as (di)vy· 'divine' on the basis of the gloss (perhaps (di)vy(ā), since ñakciya is nom.sg.fem.). |
|---|---|
| n3 | Under this line, the first akṣara of a further, so far undeciphered gloss is found: TB(?) [w]ä under Skt. sarvabhā [t]· 'shining in all directions (?)' (Wille 2012: 26) reads sarvabh[ā] –). If the reading is in fact [l]ä, the gloss may have been lä(ktsetse) v.s. (for class. läkutsetse) 'brilliant'. |
| n6 | glosses Skt. niḥśreya[s](a) 'most ecellent; ultimate bliss'. Over this line a further gloss is found: b1x TB ratrona 'red', but unfortunately the Sanskrit line to which this gloss belonged is not preserved. |
