Note 41 — Chapter XX · THE SHRADDHA CEREMONY.

The point in the supposed argument is to create amusement amongst the by-standers by the difference in pronunciation of certain words by Pandits from different districts. The whole sentence is a jumble of more or less nonsense, designed to give the speakers credit with the audience for great learning.

The discussion here is a humorous travesty.
