⁷ Cf. Ep. Ind., Vol. XXVIII, p. 328. Mahābhārata, XIII, 62, 31 has it with mahīṃ dattvā sa-bījaṃ sa-phalām=api | udīrṇaṃ v=āpi śaraṇaṃ yathā bhavati kāmadāḥ || while Hemādri (op. cit., p. 480) reads udyānaṃ śaraṇaṃ v=āpi tathā. The stanza also occurs in the Padma Purāṇa, VI, 33, 6; Bhaviṣya Purāṇa, Uttara-parvan, Ch. 164, 16; Bṛhaspatisaṃhitā, verse 6 (with Phāl-ākṛṣṭāṃ mahīṃ dattvā sa-bījaṃ śasya-śālinīṃ | yāvat=sūrya-karā lokā°). Ballāla (Dānasāgara, op. cit., p. 323) quotes the stanza with slight variations and attributes it to Bṛhaspati.
