³ The reading is संबधावदूरतया. It is allowable to insert त and take it as संबधावदूरतया. But the sense of the word, which is "remoteness," will not suit the context; as he could not have "acquired a good name," i.e. been esteemed by people for not destroying the Lord of the Dekkan on account of the remoteness of the connection. Remoteness or distance of the country would compel one to let his enemy alone, and there could be no virtue in it. The त therefore in the word must have crept in through mistake; wherefore the true reading must be संबधादूरतया.
