Commentary
Philological commentary
| * | Comments from Filliozat 1948: |
|---|
| * | 11 akṣaras are missing at the end of a3, 7 at the beginning of b1, 8 at the end of b3, 6 at the end of b4 and 7 at the beginning of b5. |
|---|
| n1 | The akṣaras at the end of the line which Filliozat/Broomhead transcribe aren't legible. I have put them in round brackets. |
|---|
| n2 | It could also be ñcā. If it is ñce, then this scribe attaches the e-diacritic to the top left of ñ. |
|---|
| n3 | The akṣaras in this line are mostly illegible. |
|---|
| n4 | Broomheads cakanma is possible, but the problem is that we would expect a number here. Broomhead strangely transcribes || as "2". |
