Commentary
Philological commentary
| The supplementation and commentaries follow Schmidt 1986: 32, 142. | |
| n9 | The final syllable in this line ([c·]) could also be [v·], but hardly d·. |
| n10 | The remains of a verse in Sanskrit are too scanty to allow for identification. |
Remarks
| According to Schmidt 1986: iv-v the ms. comes either from Qizil of from Tumšuq. | |
| THT 1125.e could belong to this leaf, cf. Schmidt 1986: 34-45. | |
| A larger fragment from the centre of a leaf, to the right of the string hole, consisting of 4 pieces, about 9 cm wide. The exact place of this leaf within the whole ms. is uncertain since the leaf number is not preserved, but it seems to belong towards the end. | |
| The original ms. was 29 cm wide and 5.6 cm high, with the string hole 6.5 cm from the left margin. It was written by at least three hands: scribe 1, a beautiful, delicate script, from leaf 1 to 11 a1; scribe 2, distinguished by a number of orthographical idiosyncrasies/errors, from leaf 11 a1 to and including 19; scribe 3 from leaf 20 to end. The final leaves A and B THT 1123 and THT 1124 may have been written either by scribe 2 or a fourth hand. Cf. Schmidt 1986: v, 2, 6 |
Linguistic commentary
| n1 | larauwñe for larauñe. |
|---|---|
| n2 | pātär mātärne sic! For this line cf. THT 1109 b 2. |
| n3 | welyñe for welñe; enäṣṣälyñe for enäṣṣälñe; wärpanale for wärpanalle. |
| n4 | enäṣṣälyñe sic! The text in this line is repeated word by word in THT 1109 b4. |
| n5 | kātsifor kāttsi; mistaken papāṣoñe for papāṣṣorñe; papāṣorñe for papāṣṣorñe. |
| n6 | papāṣoñe sic! and to be corrected to papāṣorñe. The last word in this line is probably also papāṣorñe or a derivation of it. |
| n7 | papāṣorñe for papāṣṣorñe; krentaunäts for krentaunaṃts. |
| n8 | krentaunäts sic! and to be corrected to krentaunaṃts. The last word in this line could once again be papāṣorñe (cf. line a 3). |
| n11 | ramtä for ramt. |
| n12 | papāṣorñesa for papāṣṣorñesa; mistaken papāṣorñe for papāṣṣorñe. |
| n13 | The only way to supplement the final word in this line would be the sub. kallaṃ. |
| n14 | āklyilyñe for aklyilñe. |
| n15 | papārñe sic! and to be corrected to papāṣorñe. |
| n16 | eṣke for eṃṣke. |
| n17 | viṣnu sic! for viṣṇu. |
| n18 | kälpāstä for kälpāst. |
| n19 | The beginning of this line may perhaps be supplemented to tarya naumiyentaṃts. |
