page 534 note 5 chattāña- ‘inquire’, translated from the context. The word occurs only here.

page 534 note 6 steṃna occurs only here and is not yet explained.

page 534 note 7 haṃbaṣa ‘filled’ may here refer to the completing of groups of Gara. Or the word may be colloquial for ‘many’.

page 535 note 1 BSOAS., 12. 617Google Scholar, where the translation ‘in the mountains’ is too vague.

page 535 note 2 hva:mäla: and biṃdä are marked for deletion. The meaning of Hva:mäla is uncertain, perhaps a place name. The narrative is concerned with the region west of Ṣacū and has therefore nothing to do with Qomul, as was uncertainly conjectured in Asia Major, n.s., i 47Google Scholar, where the translation offered for garvā was ‘through the mountains’.
