Of these, the first and last are worthy of a more detailed notice. - [Previous: v3.c40.209](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v3.c40.209) - [Next: v3.c40.211](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v3.c40.211) - [Up: v3.c40](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v3.c40) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v3.c40.210](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v3.c40.210) · Pramāṇa
