Philological commentary
| n1 | Uv.25.8b yo naro hy upanahyati |
|---|---|
| n2 | Uv.25.8d sad evaṃ saṃgamāt satām |
| n3 | Uv.25.9b kurvāṇam upasevate |
| n4 | Uv.25.9d avarṇaś cāsya vardhate |
| n5 | Uv.25.10c śaro liptaḥ kalāpasthān |
| n6 | Uv.25.10f naiva pāpasakhā bhavet |
| n7 | Uv.25.11b yādṛśaṃ copasevate |
| n8 | Uv.25.11d saṃsevā hy asya tādṛśī; the double "• •" just fills the line. |
| n9 | Uv.25.12b-c dṛṣṭvā saṃpākam ātmanaḥ / asanto nopaseveta |
| n10 | Uv.25.13a yāvajjīvaṃ pi ced bālaḥ; the wording here slightly deviates from Bernhard’s text: we expect °vaṃ pi instead of °vam api with one syllable more. |
| n11 | Uv.25.13c-d na sa dharmaṃ vijānāti darvī sūparasān iva, here apparently dārvī (the akṣara dā is clear). |
| n12 | Uv.25.14b paṇḍitāṃ paryupāsate |
