Commentary
Philological commentary
| n1 | This 'k' looks like an 'r'. |
|---|---|
| n2 | It should not be read as **ᵤwatanaṃs. The akṣara has a hook below it that no other 'n's in this document have. Furthermore, there are open 'k's in this document. This reading also gets rid of the inconsistency of having two forms ᵤwatakas vs. **ᵤwatanaṃs. |
