v3.c27.s6.257

1. I. संलिप्यतः, the emendation follows all the other Mss.
2. I. पद्मकम ।
3. (1) I. चैक for चैव । (2) I. कार्मुषं for कार्मुकं, suggested by all the other Mss. and supported by later references.
4. It should be noticed that ग्राम is used as neuter, although the word is generally masculine.
7. A. B. C. F. J. विन्यासं ।
9. (1) I. नवये for नार्थये । (2) A. F. विधिबद्बुधः । The next 24 lines (10-33) are left out by A. F. J.
14. (1) B. शुभायाति । (2) यः seems to be a corrupt reading for यतः
15. I. वानप्रस्थाधिकं, the emendation follows B.
16. (1) B. विंश for त्रिंश । (2) B. दण्डा for दण्डेन ।
17. I. शतातं for शतान्तं ।
18. दैर्घ्य would be more grammatical.

28. B. तद्दंडायाम । The following 20 lines (29-48) are missing in all the Mss. except B. Their inclusion in the text is absolutely necessary, as they contain the measures of the villages called नन्द्यावर्त, पद्मक, स्वस्तिक and प्रस्तर ।
29. B. नंदावतं ग्राम ग्राम, I. J. and the other Mss. नन्द्यावर्तं...दण्डादौ ।
30. B. षष्टगदिनं ।
32. The passage under the square brackets is left out in lacuna in the *Codex Architypus* and the other Mss. ; but can be restored from line 32 of Chapter X.
35. It is difficult to say whether this line was originally meant to be written in prose or verse.
