Announcements

  • The Zotero library underlying the CEToM bibliography is now public and can be viewed here.
  • We would like to thank Prof. Dr. Thomas Oberlies and Pratik Rumde from the Seminar für Indologie und Tibetologie of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen for providing our project with scans of the nachlass of Wilhelm Siegling. The nachlass includes letters to and from Siegling throughout his career that are of great importance to the history of the field of Tocharian studies. This material will be published on CEToM, accompanied by transcriptions of the letters, in the course of 2024.

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.
