Note 3 — Chapter CVI

I read satalam̱ sá cha gáyantí vínáyám Śauriná svayam Dattam svagítakam̱ káshtám̱ gándharve paramám̱ gatá. In this all the three India Office MSS. substantially agree. No. 1882 writes gáyantí with both short and long i and gandharva, No. 2166 has káshtham̱ with short a, and all three have a short a in Gandharve. It is curious to see how nearly this agrees with Dr. Kern’s conjecture. I find that the MS. lent me by the Principal of the Sanskrit College agrees with the reading I propose, except that it gives gandharva.
