| 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). |
