Commentary

Philological commentary

n1	Broomhead's reading kläntsauñesa makes sense, but I don't know if the akṣaras allow for it. The use of the virāma in tu¯ ¯K LA ntsau ñe sa suggests that the "k" belongs to tuk, and that läntsauñesa is one word.
n2	If the reading of (y)or(aisa) (or yoraintsa?) is correct, then the meaning given by Adams 1999 ("pustule, boil") is no longer tenable. Rather, *yoro has to refer to an ailment of the gastrointestinal tract (kātsaṣṣana tekanma). Maybe diarrhea/dysentery?
