Philological commentary
| n1 | cf. 2.8a ata evābhinirhṛtya. |
|---|---|
| n2 | /// te: either 2.8d te or 2.9b namo'rhate. to might be to[s](as̝\)'these', but a precise parallel in the Skt. text is not found. |
| n3 | : restoration uncertain. wmār 'jewel' as the translation of Skt. ratna, frequent in these strophes, is excluded. |
| n4 | either 2.11a–b rūparatnātmabhāvāya cittaratnāntarātmane or 2.13a–b namas te rūparatnāya cittara(tnā)ya te nama(ḥ) (in the latter case, it would provide the tnā restored by Hartmann 1987: 95). |
| n5 | wināsam: probably (ci) wināsam 'I honour you' v.s., as a translation of e.g. 2.11d, 2.12d, 2.13b, 2.13d te namaḥ. |
