Note 224 — SA@NKARA'S INTRODUCTION (continued 3)

Footnote 224:

(return)

I translate this passage as I find it in all MSS. of Sa@nkara consulted by me (noting, however, that some MSS. read kaitrarathinâmaikah). Ânanda Giri expressly explains tasmâd by kaitrarathad ity arthah.—The text of the Tândya Br. runs: tasmâk kaitrarathînâm ekah kshatrapatir gâyate, and the commentary explains: tasmât kâranâd adyâpi kitravamsotpannânâm madhye eka eva râjâ kshatrapatir balâdhipatir bhavati.—Grammar does not authorise the form kahraratha used in the Sûtra.
