Philological commentary

n1Uv.6.11b yasya hy ete subhāvitāḥ
n2This seems to be the end of Uv. 6.11b, though in Bernhard’s edition it reads subhāvitāḥ and has no other variant reading than subhāvitā.
n3Uv.6.11d tv aśokaḥ kṣīṇasaṃbhavaḥ
n4Uv.6.12b ājñātāvī niraupadhiḥ
n5Uv.6.13a uddhatasya pramattasya
n6Uv.6.13c śīlaṃ samādhiḥ prajñā ca
n7Uv.6.14a channam evābhivarṣati
n8Uv.6.14d evaṃ taṃ nābhivarṣati
n9Uv.6.15b sadā śīleṣu paṇḍitaḥ
