Dear Evgeniya,

My first thought is to suggest that the marginal note should possibly be read 
as nādyā ’not the first’, if you cannot construe nadyā ‘by/with a river’, and 
the text refutes several optional interpretations at this point.

The second thought is to suggest that it would help if you share an image of 
the folio.

Best wishes,

Elliot
