Note 1 — Chapter CXXIV
C. H. (Charles Henry) Tawney translation
The khaṭvánga, a club shaped like the foot of a bedstead, i. e., a staff with a skull at the top, considered as the weapon of Śiva and carried by ascetics and Yogis. For karaḥ the MSS give ravaḥ. This would mean that the ascetic was beating his drum. The word in No. 1882 might be khaḥ but is no doubt meant for ravaḥ.
