According to Hem. II 196 the particle de is used in addressing a person and in a friendly request, which would correspond to its occurrence before vocatives (see, for instance, *20) and before imperatives (as here.) respectively (see also Dundas, 1981: 205).
It is tempting to connect this de with the enclitic form de of the personal pronoun of the second person, discussed in *15. The latter is used in this text specifically for the genitive-dative. It should be noted, though, that the enclitics te and me (Skt) are basically kinds of stem-forms unmarked for case. This explains their use, occasionally, for other cases than the genitive-dative as well. For the use of these enclitics, see AIG III S 235. .:. For the verb chiva- 'to touch' and the past participle chikka, see*14.
