Source notes
21 The Sanskrit College MS. has ehi for iha.
22 I read sudurdharshám; the Sanskrit College MS. reads senaním (sic) iva durdharshám: the word translated “rhinoceros” can also mean “sword;” the adjective before it may mean “uplifted,” and the word translated “inhabited by lions” may perhaps mean, “commanded by a king.”
23 I follow the reading of the Sanskrit College MS. which gives daghna instead of lagna.
24 The Sanskrit College MS. reads vyásaktavíraśirasam̱.
25 I read with the Sanskrit College MS. pátaḥ for práptiḥ.
26vṛittántam̱ should probably be vṛittánta, and should be joined with the words that follow.
27 An allusion to the phenomenon of the tides.
28 The Sanskrit College MS. gives vṛishṭa-hiraṇya-vastram̱, in which gold and garments were showered on the people.
29 I read śápopaníte with the Sanskrit College MS.
