c19.s8.18

*112. 1a vá u, § 171 v; 1e the refrain is borrowed from ix 106 4b. *113. 1a catalectic verse; 2b mīdhuaḥ; 3b hypersyllabic verse: probably omit tám, § 152 i; 5b heptasyllabic verse; 6b perhaps vácam chandasīám, as a long fifth syllable is very unusual in the full cadence of Epic Anuṣṭubh; 7c hypersyllabic verse: the Sandhi combination of two verses (§ 119) is not probable: the omission of mám is perhaps on the whole the best course.
