Note 8 — Chapter CX

I read vṛitam which appears to be the reading of the three India Office MSS. and of the Sanskrit College MS. It is clear enough in No. 2166. In śloka 85 I think that the reading of MS. No. 3003 náaṛityatkevalam̱ yávad vátoddhútalatá api must be something near the truth, as yával in Brockhaus’s text gives no meaning. (The Sanskrit College MS. gives Anṛityannaiva vátena dhutá yával latá api.) Of course the plural must be substituted for the singular. I have translated accordingly. Two MSS. have valgad for vallad in śl. 87.
