Philological commentary
| n1 | klāṅka-ṃ: cf. Carling et al. 2009: 176b. |
|---|---|
| n2 | : cf. A 97 b6 vedaśāstraṃ. |
| n3 | ñ(u)k nu: another possibility would be ñ (k)[a]knu. There is no vowel sign on top of the ‹ñ›, and there seems to be no ligature part below it, but a lower part ‹k› or ‹u› cannot be excluded. |
| n4 | (ā)ly(a)käñcaṃ: this variant is attested once more in A 267 a1, against ālakäñcaṃ in A 12 a3, A 15 a6, A 110 b5 (Sieg et al. 1931: 193). |
