Commentary
Linguistic commentary
| n2 | kātsi for kāttsi. |
|---|
Philological commentary
| n1 | This could refer to the Rājasasaṃyuktaka-nipāta. |
|---|---|
| n3 | I'm assuming that yośaśis a mistake for yogaś, since the former doesn't seem to exist in Sanskrit. Thus, Tocharian cewsatranslates anenaand se ñasso-?must reflect yogaś. ñasso-?appears to be a hapax. Sieg and Siegling read yo =ṃśas. |
| n4 | Note the translation of pragraha"exertion" by Tocharian tsārwaṣṣälyñe"consolation". |
