Commentary
Linguistic commentary
| Note the double consonant rṣakāñcca for rṣakāñca 'female sage'. |
Remarks
| Small fragment from the right part of a five-line leaf with the right margin preserved. Partly edited in Sieg and Siegling 1953: 323 sub no. 354. |
Philological commentary
| n1 | -śk(·) is the end of a diminutive form. |
|---|---|
| n2 | ky(ā)na is the causative preterite of kän- ‘fulfill'; since the following sign is unreadable (certainly not ṣṣäṃ as read by Tamai), it may also be another person of that stem. |
