Abstract
The Khotanese word Zambasta 17.14 baṣṣä means ‘monsoon rains’, not ‘torrents’, and is a loanword from Gandhari going ultimately back to Sanskrit varṣa‑ ‘rain(y season); year’. Recognition that the Khotanese word occurring in Suvarṇabhāsottamasūtra 10.40 and so far read bihare in manuscript Or. 59 and ]hare in manuscript Q should actually be read bihaḍe ‘dwells’, a loanword ultimately from Sanskrit viharati allows a more accurate translation of the passage.File allegati a questo prodotto
