More Sanskrit – Tocharian B bilingual Udanavarga fragments
1. In the decipherment of Tocharian, bilingual texts have playeda crucial role. In this respect, the text that has been most helpful forTocharian B is the Udanavarga (a.o. the sarvastivada equivalent of theDhammapada), of which there is a bilingual version where each San-skrit half pada is directly followed by a Tocharian B word-for-wordtranslation. The most important publications of this bilingual are Siegand Siegling (1930–2), Lévi (1911; 1933: 39–56) and Sieg and Siegling(1953: 190–202).
After the publication of the complete Sanskrit text by Bernhard(1965, 1968), Thomas further studied various grammatical and lexicalcorrespondences of original and translation (1968, 1969, 1971, 1973,1974a, 1975, 1977a, 1977b, 1989, 1993). Furthermore, he republished thefragments that had already been published by Sieg and Siegling (Siegand Siegling 1930–2; Thomas 1971a), and he published eight more frag-ments that had previously been identified by Bernhard (Thomas 1974;Bernhard 1965: 79)1, as well as two rest fragments (1977, 19802). Finally,Pinault published a fragment of the Paris collection (1994: 108–114).
Unfortunately, despite the fact that the bilinguals identified so farare of inestimable value for Tocharian studies, the portion known ofthe Tocharian B text is relatively small. In the following, I present an-other forty-four small fragments that can hopefully promote the studyof this important text.
2. The transliteration of the fragments is done in the traditional way,3
except that I have not restored the text in the transliteration. After
1 The press marks of these fragments are: TX1 (Bernhard TX78) = THT1350;TX2 = THT1368; TX3 = THT1318; TX4 (Bernhard TX86) = THT1355; TX5(Bernhard TX87) = THT1362a; TX6 (Bernhard TX89) = THT1327; TX7 =THT1333; TX8 (Bernhard TX99) = THT1362b.
2 Unfortunately, I have not been able to identify the small fragment he mentionson page 245.
3 Square brackets ‘[]’ indicate uncertain readings, ‘–’ indicates an unreadableakflsara, ‘(–)’ means that a whole akflsara is lost, and ‘·’ indicates an unreadable partof an akflsara. A middle dot ‘·’ over the virama stroke is used for the virama dot.

each line I give the reference for the Udanavarga (Uv.; according toBernhard 1965), and problems with the identification are discussed ina short commentary on the fragment. A reconstruction of the Tochar-ian words (if possible) is given in a standard transcription withoutFremdzeichen, with references to the attestations in the manuscripts.The reconstruction is followed by the original Sanskrit line and anEnglish translation of the Sanskrit text. I have used a provisional listof the British Library in which old press marks were given and some-times a remark about the appurtenance to the Udanavarga was made.In principle, the old press marks are based on this list; it will be re-ferred to as ‘the list of the British Library’.
NB: I would like to thank Dr Tatsushi Tamai of Frankfurt Univer-sity, who very kindly put his transliteration of the unpublished Tochar-ian fragments of the Berlin collection at my disposal. Without histransliteration it would never have been possible to identify the Berlinfragments presented here. The full responsibility for the transliter-ation given in the following is, however, mine.4 The transliteration ofthe London fragments I have done myself within the framework of thetitus tocharica project, where I have profited much from Dr Tamai’sadvice.

The old press mark of this fragment is D9 and it measures 4.1 cm inheight and 5.6 cm in width.6 It contains three lines on each side andit is to be joined with IT2337 (old press marks H.add.149.109, U1;cf. Thomas 1971a: 7).
4 The official designation of the Berlin collection is Depositum der Berlin-Bran-denburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften in der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin –Preußischer Kulturbesitz – Orientabteilung. I would like to thank Prof PeterZieme and Dr Simone-Christiane Raschmann for their kind help with checkingthe Berlin originals.
5 At the time of writing, recto and verso of this fragment were reversed on thewebsite of the International Dunhuang Project (idp.bl.uk), as well as those ofIOL Toch 103, 308, 479, 505, 715, 807, 809, 928, 931, 988, 1027, 1243. Sinceaccording to plan this will be corrected in the near future, the problem is notedonly here.

Notes:a1: the last akflsara might also be <yu>, but in view of other <p>’s
and <nu> in a2, <ypa> is slightly likelier.a2: as nulkeva is written together, we have to assume that either the
scribe cut the original Skt. line wrongly, or that lines c and d weregiven at once.8
a3: the rests are poor, but (we)sk(e) flm (kly)o(moñ) is a probable res-titution: a vestige of the e-vocalism can be seen on top of the <sk>
and the traces under the <o> could well be from <k>.

b1: it seems that there is no vowel sign on the <y>, but this is nottotally certain: maybe we should read (ymi)y(e) for -gati flh?
b2: only the upper part of an <a> can be seen, so it could also be<a>, which might even be more likely because of the large space be-fore the marginal rests of < l[·]i> or < l[·]i> to the right. I suppose thatwe have an optative form of al- ‘to keep away’ here, i.e. alyi, alyiträ oralyiträ, as a translation of nivarayet.

10 The interpretation of this line is controversial, because Skt. channam ‘covered’can both be subject and object. I prefer to take it as the object here, because, ap-parently, that is how the Tocharians understood it when they rendered channamwith the locative aipornek. The alternative translation is ‘a covered sky rainsdown [on you]’.

Notes:a2: the gap is thought to be approximately as big as in line b5: 6
akflsaras. We find pu flny(a flm) instead of regular puflnya flm.a3: -haram of sudurharam is translated with the gerund of ai- ‘to
give’, but it should mean ‘to be taken’ here. The meaning ‘to take’ isalso attested for the finite middle forms of this verb.
a4: yä is a bit lower than the other akflsaras, so it is probably -yä0 . We
find agata flm instead of Bernhard’s agata flm. The gap is thought to beapproximately as big as in line b3: 3 akflsaras.
b1: this should read yasya tv ete, but although the akflsara is da-maged, it looks more like tw ete (cf. wanti B308b4 for vanti).
b3: the gap is estimated at 3 akflsaras, because I expect it to containsamucchinna flh kete only; the Schnurloch must be responsible for therest of the space.
b5: the gap is estimated at 6 akflsaras, because it must contain yän-maflsflsä flm 13 vitasraddha flm.

Notes:b1: I suppose sañ is just san, nom.sg. ‘enemy’, in sa flmdhi before the
following ñäflsträ; the ‘10’ has something over it, which might be thestroke of ‘11’, but I assume it is ‘10’ because pada 11 follows.
b3: ironically, exactly the same fragmentary correspondence,‘brahmacaryavan’ : ‘/// tse’, is attested for Uv. 32.19b in IT164b3, cf.Thomas (1971a: 41).
b4: probably the beginning of the Sanskrit text of Uv. 11.13b; thehiatus-resolving hy is lacking (which is regular in these half padas, cf.the note to Uv. 4.2b/ IT928a2).

Notes:a1: this rest could be from either Uv. 13.8b or 8c, but since line a2 is
identified as Uv. 13.8d, it must be 13.8b.a3: the <m> can be read, but I cannot see the expected <r> on top
of it; it should read ahir muflsakadurga flm.a4: if the lower edge of the fragment is somewhat abraded, the rests
that at first sight look like <n> could be from <k> instead, which iswhat we expect: kwri ‘if’ as a translation of cet.
b4: B31a5 has astre flm saul, but this cannot be read here. Rather, therests point to the regular prose form astare (the translation in B31a5 isless literal and versified, and probably differed from the one here).

Notes:a4: we find arya for regular arya flh, but notice that the pausa visarga
is not written in this manuscript: it lacks in a5 for mithaflh (– v instead),in a7 for yukta flh (yukta v instead) and in b3 for punaflh (n· v instead).
a5: the reading of this line is particularly uncertain, since in IT1244only the upper part of some akflsaras is visible, and in IT809 only thelower. As I do not know how to restore the whole line, the number ofmissing syllables is uncertain; it might also be that the last e-vowel ofIT1244 belongs to (the first akflsara of) flsemeske on IT809. If a piecethat is flipped over to the verso is considered, the reading of the ·[t_]· isless doubtful, but not yet certain.
b2: slight rests of the <c> and the <o> of scono can be seen, too.b3: on IT809, a little piece from the recto is flipped over at the left. I
do not know how to restore this line either, so the number of missingakflsaras, if there are any, is uncertain.

I would expect a form of yam- ‘todo’ and the following akflsara could either be mi or mo, both givinggood possibilities (i.e. either yamo° or yami), but it looks more like<m[n]a>, so that I would like to leave this question open.
a3: I expect wflsetstse or the like as a translation of pisuna, but thereare no rests below the <t>. Maybe it is just very abraded.
b3: we clearly read sre, so probably sre(flsfltham), against Bernhard’sreconstruction sraiflsflthya flm Uv. 25.5c, just as (sr)e(flsfltham) in B308a8.

Transliteration:

3. Some of the word correspondences found enable us to refine or as-certain the meaning of the Tocharian words. I discuss these instancesbelow.
nekarflske ypa(rwe) IT765a1 madhuragra ‘sweet/ pleasant at first’ Uv.2.4a. The meaning of the word nekarflske was not known and Adams(1999: 341, following Sieg and Siegling 1953: 37) even consideredthe possibility that the two attestations known to him (B101a5,B382a1) are writing errors for takarflske ‘faithful; clear’. With itstranslating madhura-, the meaning is ascertained as ‘sweet’ or‘pleasant’, the opposite of räskare ~ kafltuka- ‘bitter, harsh’ in Uv.2.4b. The meaning ‘pleasant’ fits best to the attestations known: ///(s)e pañäktaññe pelaikne ate tot empre flmtse sware nekarflske pällarflskeste (B101a5) ‘this law of the Buddha is so true, sweet, pleasant andpraiseworthy!’, /// gandharvv(i) sark(a) yamflsye flm nekarflsk(e) ///(B382a1) ‘the gandharvas played the lute … pleasant’.

add contextless nekarflske in THT1348a.b3, nekärflskana rekauwna(THT1297b3) ‘pleasant words’ and yselmenne nekärflskä ///(AS12Lb2) ‘in the desires … pleasant’. The fact that nekarflske neverrefers to something drinkable or edible, but to ‘the law’ (B101),‘words’ (THT1297), ‘desires’ (IT765, AS12L?) and possibly ‘music’(B382), points to a meaning ‘pleasant’ rather than ‘sweet’.nekarflske seems to have the same suffix as klänkarflske ‘doubtful’,pällarflske ‘praiseworthy’, pautarflske ‘honouring’, mäntarflske ‘evil’,mällarflske ‘pliant (?)’ and takarflske ‘faithful; clear’, which are de-rived from (a-less variants of) klwnk- ‘to doubt’, pwla- ‘to praise’,pauta- ‘to revere’, mwnt- ‘to disturb’, mwl- ‘to press’ and probablynes- ‘to be’ (subj. táka-) respectively.17 The only verb that would for-mally match nekarflske, however, is nwk- ‘to destroy, to perish’, whichhas no suitable meaning.
(pa)kware sesinu IT308b2 kusido ‘lazy, slothful’ Uv. 24.5b. The To-charian B (pa)kware sesinu ‘badly depressed’ for ‘lazy’ can only beunderstood with recourse to the Skt. kusida- (with a wrongly San-skritised variant kusida-), which the translator analysed as ku- ‘bad’and sida- ‘sat down, sunk down’.
(ly)kä(s)ke-sawe flm THT2374ii.b3 aflnusthula flm ‘fine or rough’ Uv.33.25b. The writing of the vowels in lykäske and sawe flm points to acompound lykäské-sawe flm, though ‘MQ’-writing is difficult to ex-clude in view of the small size of the fragment. The importance ofthis form lies in the vowel e before sawe flm, because the word for‘rough’ known until present is asawe. It might be that lykäskesawe flm is a sa flmdhi variant of lykäske asawe flm, since -e =- is a pos-sible sa flmdhi result of -e a- (the other and more frequent two being-= a- or -= a-, cf. Stumpf 1971: 105). However, in a compound wewould not expect such sa flmdhi and it is therefore likely that we aredealing with the unprefixed form of asawe, or, in other words, theexact cognate of Tocharian A sawe, nom.pl.m. ‘big’ (asawe goesback to *en-sawe, cf. Hilmarsson 1991: 12318).
17 (a)ñmalarflske flm IT165b3 is either a writing error or an incidental analogical cor-ruption of añmalaflske ‘pitying’, after the words in -rflske cited here. Much lesslikely is it that añmalaflske had the same suffix, but the r was lost.
18 Different from what Hilmarsson writes, however, Tocharian A asawe is bor-rowed from Tocharian B asawe, and not the other way round.

wäntalyme flm abl.sg. IT766b2 capad ‘bow’ abl.sg. Uv. 29.21b. This wordis also attested in B109b6 and it has been translated as ‘bow’ (e.g.Schmidt 1974: 354, Thomas 1964: 240), which is confirmed by itstranslating capa. The inflection of the word is not clear, however,since in B109b6 it is in the oblique singular too, but there it has theform wäntalyi. If wäntalyi is no mistake for wäntaly before the fol-lowing ite, we have to assume that wäntalyi and wäntaly° are vari-ants. Since this is not the text type where we would expect syncope,and it is not the right phonological context for syncope either, I sup-pose that wäntaly° is the basic form. Possibly, ly was not tolerated infinal position and automatically changed into lyi.19
(flsä)ñ-(a)ñm pällanträ IT1020a2 lapayanti ‘they boast’ Uv. 30.52b. Canwe conclude that there was no Tocharian B word for ‘to boast’? Atleast lapayanti was translated as ‘they praise themselves’. For thesame expression, cf. (flsa)ñ-añm palamai ñäs ‘I praised myself’ B46a5and flsañ-añm pällatär B64a5 ‘he praises himself’.
4. Many more of the word and grammar correspondences found inthese fragments deserve a systematic discussion, which I hope can oneday be offered within the framework of a complete edition of all theSanskrit – Tocharian B bilingual fragments of the Udanavarga thathave been identified. This edition should contain both Tocharian B –Sanskrit and Sanskrit – Tocharian B word lists, which will not onlypromote the study of the Tocharian B lexicon, but will also help toidentify the Sanskrit originals of many more Tocharian B fragmentsand fragmentary texts.

19 Of words with final ly I found only mudgaly B218a2; ysaly B31b7 may be just asa flmdhi variant of the oblique ysalyi*, ysaly B496a6 is probably a sa flmdhi variantof the nominative ysalye. The oblique cannot have been ysalye in view of thegenitive isälyäntse B255b3.
