c3.113

¹ An interesting loan-word is suggested in *kampana* or *kampanā* (below, p. 170) by B. Liebich (*Festgabe Streitberg*, pp. 230-2) who sees in it a derivative of *campus*. Liebich has a most amusing note (*ZII.* v. 153-63) showing how in *Pañcatantra*, i. 7 (below, p. 257) the original version has a bug, not a flea, but the latter was introduced by Burzōe's version. Burzōe's alleged narrative is suspected by Sir E. Denison Ross (*Ocean of Story*, v. pp. v ff.; *BSOS.* iii. 443), but the existence of a Pahlavi rendering, which alone is of importance to Indologists, is not questioned.
