Commentary

Philological commentary

	Comments from Filliozat 1948:
	End of a5: read kākori
n1	Broomhead has (a)llaṣalle. But it is clear that his akṣara looks exactly like the SA in särwāna, so the reading here is the correct one.
n2	Broomhead's [a]ruṇari[ju] cannot be correct. Firstly, the part below the alleged "ju" cannot be an "u", if we were to read the top part as "j", because "j" does not have the same u-diacritic as "r" and "k", but the "normal" one (cf. IOL Toch 200 b2). Secondly, if the first akṣara were an "a", we would expect at least a little bit of the lower part to be visible, but there isn't. I think it is more likely that we should read va; this would give us varuṇa, which is the name of a tree which is said to have magical powers. The second member of the compound remains obscure.
n3	Broomhead and Filliozat have kṣīrakākori here. But the "ra" looks like a rka. The top left stroke of the ka is clearly visible.
