‘Qualify of Goodness’—which is going to be described in Discourse XII.

‘Endowed with’ these—i.e., possessing these two.

‘Possessing wealth’—Wealthy.

Ganganatha Jha 1920, Manu-Smṛti: The Laws of Manu with the Bhāṣya of Medhātithi

‘Possessing fame’—Well-known as possessing the qualities of learning, bravery, and so forth.

Ganganatha Jha 1920, Manu-Smṛti: The Laws of Manu with the Bhāṣya of Medhātithi

‘With full enjoyment’—i.e., supplied with sufficient quantities of such means of enjoyment as garlands, sandal-paint, music, vocal and instrumental, and so forth.

Ganganatha Jha 1920, Manu-Smṛti: The Laws of Manu with the Bhāṣya of Medhātithi

‘Enjoyment’ stands for non-separation from the above-mentioned means of enjoyment; and those for whom this is ‘full’—not deficient, complete—are said to be ‘with full enjoyment.’

Ganganatha Jha 1920, Manu-Smṛti: The Laws of Manu with the Bhāṣya of Medhātithi

‘Righteous,’ ‘dharmiṣṭha’—i.e., engaged in the performance of righteous acts. The term ‘dharma,’ according to Some, is an adjective; and hence it has taken the superlative affix (‘iṣṭha’).

Ganganatha Jha 1920, Manu-Smṛti: The Laws of Manu with the Bhāṣya of Medhātithi

‘They live for a hundred years’—(40)
