Chapter IV
v3.c27.s4.1
1. The contents of the chapter necessitate the emendation; there seems to be a confusion between this line and first line of next chapter.
v3.c27.s4.2
3. I. J. चायते for जायते; the emendation is suggested by the other Mss.
v3.c27.s4.3
4. (1) I. वत्तुरङ्ग ।
(2) I. द्विरतं, J. द्विरदं ।
(3) I. वोखारदारतं for साकरदुं । B. D. साकार; A. F. सागर ।
v3.c27.s4.4
5. B. D. किंचित्वूर्व गजादिभिः ।
v3.c27.s4.5
6. I. वाक्ये for चान्ये; the emendation is suggested by all other Mss.
v3.c27.s4.6
8. I. सं *******स्पना for संस्पर्शना ।
v3.c27.s4.7
9. A. F. J. सेशोकः। प्रशोक is the usual form.
v3.c27.s4.8
10. (1) I. J. A. स्रुत apparently for चूत । (2) A. F. B. D. षट् for नृप ।
(3) B. D. समास्थितः । समझला seems to be the correct form.
v3.c27.s4.9
11. The adjectives धवल and others should be read in the feminine.
v3.c27.s4.10
13. I. J. वस्त्रेनी मानवाङ्कलो; B. D. वस्त्रेनी च स्वध्रमः for प्रदक्षिणाकारा वस्त्रेनैः suggested by the other Mss. In order to preserve the sense of lines 13-14, a reading like the one included here is unavoidably necessary. But the second portion of the line 13 remains more or less doubtful.
v3.c27.s4.11
14. (1) I. J. शङ्खलो ।
(2) I. दृष्टिनीरा; J. नोया ; the emendation is suggested by A. F. and the other Mss.
v3.c27.s4.12
15. (1) I. J. वस्त्रोता for रहिता suggested by the other Mss.
(2) I. J. B. D. निष्ठ for निष्क ।
v3.c27.s4.13
16. (1) A. F. I. J. सूक्ष्मसलिला for सूक्तिसिकता । The difficulty of retaining the former reading is that it does not conform to the context, and it does not preserve the sense. For these reasons we have preferred the reading suggested by the other Mss.
v3.c27.s4.14
(2) I. वजा for वर्जा ।
17. (1) B. D. पृथिवींद्रेण शूरैश्च । (2) A. E. वृताः ।
18. I. leaves out this line, but it has been preserved by all other Mss.
(1) A. F. विदिलेकंड, B. D. भिश्लेकम्य । (2) A. F. B. D. रंसंयुता ।
19. (1) B. D. निष्कृपा । (2) J. निर्जिमृतइच ।
21. I. G. लाक्ष for लाज्य ।
22 I. J. ग्रस्डजं, B. D. ग्रस्डजैः for ग्रह्डज ।
23. (1) B. D. A. इन्द्र, J. क्षत्र, F. नृप् for नृप ।
(2) A. F. सहा, B. D. सभा, I. J. समा । (3) I. J. शे for चे ।
24. (1) I. कणंक, J. वर्णक, B. D. सुवर्णकलशे for कनक suggested by the other Mss.
(2) तरोर् is apparently for तरूणा । (3) I. द्वित for द्रुम । The more grammatical form would be शाखिनुम ।
25. A. F. क्रमोन्नता.
26. (1) A. F. जानांगृहै, B. D. आपान च for मज्जनानां गृहैः ।
(2) I. J. कारो ग्रहो प्रभा, A. F. वृथा for कारगृहैवृता suggested by B. D.
27. I. प्रदा for पथा suggested by all the other Mss.
28. (1) A. F. गंधं, B. D. तक्तं for गर्त ।
(2) B. D. पंजरयो, A. F. वंमुरवोपनं for मुखोपम ।
29. (1) A. F. झपेाप, B. D. उपोप ।
(2) Before the last expression there is a lacuna which is common to all the Mss., and might be which filled in by a word like सर्वं ।
(3) A. F. वृथा, B. D. व्यदा for प्रभा ।
30. कोखेषु seems to be the intended construction.
31. I. J. शील, A. F. B. D. शिव for शाल suggested by the other Mss.
32. I. मक for मर्कट ।
33. B. D. फलं नामानमिपश्चात् कृति च शूर्पलक्षणं ।
34. (1) I. विदाला । (2) I. वचर for खचर ; B. D. विहोल चरोपनं ।
35. (1) A. F. नीचञ्चापि । (2) A. F. तुषारा, B. तुवरा ।
v3.c27.s4.15
36. A. F. स्वयं निर्जेता, I.J. वस्तुदेव स्यानोजिता भवेत् for विधानं तदेवं स्याद्वर्जितम् (suggested by B. D.) whereof ऊर्जित is obviously an incorrect form for वर्जित ।
v3.c27.s4.16
37. A. F. B. D. विवं च । It would have been more appropriate if this line could be read before the preceding one.
v3.c27.s4.17
38. (1) I. J. वास्तोल्पे । (2) B. D. महत । (3) I. J. च for यः ।
v3.c27.s4.18
39. B. D. तदुच्छ्रस्य नियात्तस्याद्विजनशकाहरा; the second half of this line remains more or less obscure.
v3.c27.s4.19
40. (1) A. F. स्यभि । (2) I. has a lacuna for बहु, which is supplied by all other Mss. B. D. न्यभि सादरवस्या स्वर्गा निवदुरसवहु ।
v3.c27.s4.20
41. (1) A. F. विव, B. D. तिव for वीज । (2) A. F. वृत्तेः B. D. वृते for व्रतेः ।
v3.c27.s4.21
42. (1) B. D. वशोषृष्ट्वा for संस्कृता । An expression like the one within brackets is missing in all the Mss. Besides, the end of this chapter in all the Mss. is evidently curtailed.
v3.c27.s4.22
Colophon:—The contents of the chapter necessitate the emendation; there seems to be a confusion between the titles of this chapter and of the next.
