Commentary

In his edition, GC only mentions that the text contains a list of chdiṅ "river", thkval "mound", vrai "forest" with indications of some quantities of grains, honey, bee-wax which were to be offered. He provides three names of rivers, viz. chdiṅ ransi, chdiṅ thlān and chdiṅ tammriy slāp.
