Note 3 — BOOK I.
Reading edition
p. 3. l. 5. —in Nishadha lord of earth. I have accented this word not quite correctly Nĭshādhă, in order to harmonise with the trochaic flow of my metre. It appears to be the same as Nishadha-râshtra and Nishādha-dēsa. See Wilford's list of mountains, rivers, countries; from the Purànas and other books. Asiatic Researches, vol. viii. Bopp.
