Commentary
Philological commentary
| n1 | This śa looks very weird. Ching compares THT 2682 a2 and argues that it should be read as 'ta'. However, THT 2682 a2 reads putaiyn[e], not putaiyśe. |
|---|---|
| n2 | The signature consists of the word for 'signature' (Ching and Ogihara 2010: 85, fn. 23). |
| n3 | Ogihara apud Ching 2017: 371 explains parramañi as Sanskrit pramāṇa 'measure'. |
