Commentary

Remarks

*Upper and lower margins are preserved.

Philological commentary

n1: cf. A 152 b6 lwā tspokinc-äṃ. The meaning 'enjoy' (Malzahn 2010: 999) is based on the etymological connection with tspok 'taste' and does not follow from the passages where the verb is attested.
n2: cf. A 166 b5 cami ṣoṅkātsāśśi. This word may suggest appurtenance to the Garbhasūtra.
n3smā(lok): Possibly a trace of the upper part of the l-ligature is seen to the right. This restoration is due to Ilya Itkin (p.c. 8 September 2016).
n44: This reading, which confirms the order of recto and verso, is due to Ilya Itkin (p.c. 8 September 2016).
n5ṣoṅkātsāñ: This reading, instead of ṣoṅkātsāś(śi), is due to Ilya Itkin (p.c. 8 September 2016).
n6: See Itkin 2016: 72.
n7/// ṣiṃñc-äṃ: possibly (klyo)ṣiṃñc-äṃ 'may they hear him'.
n8tsäknäṣtr-änn o(ki): This reading, instead of tsäknäṣtr-än no(ṣ), is due to Sergey Malyshev (p.c. 8 September 2016).
