⁵² T.M.S., 187 has پایل (Pāil) and so has T.A., I, 267. Other MSS. of T.M.S. (text note 3, 187) have باید (Bāid) and بابل (Bābul). K. K. Basu (T.M.S. trans., 193, n. 8) says that Pāil may safely be identified with Baila in the Dehradun district on a high mountain. Lat. 30° 45′, Long. 78°47′. But he is not correct. This Pāil, now a railway station, lies 25 miles N.W. of Sarhind as the crow flies.
