14. 2c yátra; 3d sváhā ’nié, § 145 vi, or sváhā anyé; 5c catalectic Bhārgavī verse, § 227 iii b; 8d Rest at the fifth place; 9a itā twice; 10a dravā; 10a, 11a śúanau, § 145 vi; 11c tábhiām; 11d svastí; 15c idám should perhaps be omitted. 15. 3c, 4a barhiḥ-sádah, § 178; 7b dhattā; 7c putrébhiaḥ; 7d yaccatā; 9a perhaps devátā; 11b sadatā; 13b vidmá; 14c svarájāḥ, § 151 iii. 16. 3b, 3c gacchā; 3b diám or dyáam; 5a sṛjā; 14d long fifth syllable exceptionally: perhaps agním sú. 17. 5b sá; 9c sahasra-arghám; 13a appears to be a dimeter verse perverted by the recollection of 12a: omit skannáḥ. 19. 6b semi-cadence of Epic Anuṣṭubh: this is therefore the third verse of an Anuṣṭubh stanza, the first two being similar to those of stanza 8.
