Note 621 — SECTION I. FARGHĀNA. (continued 3)
Annette Susannah Beveridge translation
tāsh chantāī. These words have been taken to mean whet-stone (bilgū-tāsh). I have found no authority for reading tāsh as whet-stone. Moreover to allow ‘bag of the stone’ to be read would require tāsh (nīng) chantāī-sī in the text.
