Commentary
Philological commentary
| n1 | This is certainly the ending of the name of a tune in the Loc.Sg., cf. yaśodharavilāpne , nandivilāpne or karuṇapralāpne . |
|---|---|
| n2 | täryācould be completed to täryāka 'thirty' or reflect a compound starting with trai , such as täryā-yäkne 'of three kinds, threefold'. |
