Note 15 — Chapter CXVIII
C. H. (Charles Henry) Tawney translation
Pátála and Rasátala seem to be used indiscriminately to denote “the nether world” in this passage. Strictly speaking, Rasátala is one of the seven Pátálas. The words in śl. 189 which I have translated “regions of Pátála” mean literally “the Pátálas.” In śl. 192 the three India Office MSS. read sudṛishṭayoḥ “having had a good look at them.”
