Commentary
Philological commentary
| * | Reading, restoration and translation basically according to K.T. Schmidt apud Wille 1989: 189. |
| n1 | According to Schmidt, an alternative reading (śla)k\ śkaṃ is also possible, but since there is no virāma dot on the k\ in line b3, -käṃ is still more likely. |
Remarks
| * | Verso Sanskrit, recto TA; Tocharian text edited and identfied by K.T. Schmidt apud Wille 1989: 189 no. SHT 1561. |
