Note 445 — Chapter XV · THE PATANJALI-DARSÁNA.
Edward B. (Edward Byles) Cowell translation
I cannot explain this. We might read guruvarṇánám for guṇavarṇánáṃ, as the time spent in uttering a guruvarṇa is a vipala, sixty of which make a pala, and two and a half palas make a minute; but this seems inconsistent with the other numerical details. The whole passage may be compared with the opening of the fifth act of the Málatímádhava.
