Note 16 — Chapter LXXII
C. H. (Charles Henry) Tawney translation
A being recording the vices and virtues of mankind in Yama’s world. Kuhn, in his Westfälische Sagen, p. 71, speaks of “a devil who records the evil deeds of men.” Böhtlingk and Roth say that utpunsayati in śl. 323 should be utpánsayati.
