pātrāṇi vakṣyati | daṇḍāstrayaḥ | tridaṇḍī hi saḥ | kusumbhaḥ kamaṇḍaluḥ, na mahārajanam | uttaraślokārdhasyārthaḥ prāgvihita eva |
Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
‘Vessels’—to be described later on.
‘Staffs’—three; the Renunciate being required to carry three staffs.
‘Kusumbha’—is water-pot, not the colouring substance.
What is said in the second half of the verse has been already said before. (52)
