Philological commentary
| n1 | Uv.29.57b madhye muñca bhavasya pāragaḥ |
|---|---|
| n2 | Uv.29.57end yugavargaḥ |
| n3 | 6: with a vertical stroke between the śand the u, with a horizontal one crossing. Perhaps it is to be read 7, i.e. 6 + 1. Otherwise, in this version the yugavarga may have contained 56, not 57 pādas, which would also be possible. |
| n4 | Uv.30.1a-b jayād vairaṃ prasavate duḥkhaṃ śete parājitaḥ |
| n5 | Uv.30.1d hitvā jayaparājayau |
| n6 | : of the first akṣara the rest of an arc can be seen, which could be of a long ī. |
| n7 | Uv.30.2c vairasaṃsargasaṃsakto |
| n8 | Uv.30.4c ātmanaḥ sukham eṣānaḥ |
| n9 | Uv.30.5a-b dharmaṃ caret sucaritaṃ nainaṃ duścaritaṃ caret |
