The Purana Text of the Dynasties of the Kali Age c6.57

c6.57

In this class may be mentioned certain incorrect forms: thus the Vā generally reads *caturas* instead of *catvāras* in p. 34, l. 7 (note 20), where the Pkt *caüro* may have been used as a nomin. though it is strictly accus.¹ So the Mt generally has *catvāriṃśad* instead of *catvāraś ca* (or *tu*), which would be an intelligible mistake if the Pkt was *cattāri ca*, for *cattāri* though neuter was often used as masculine². The plural verb *bhokṣyanti* instead of the dual in p. 50 (*Dynasties of the 3rd Cent.*), l. 2, would be correct in Pkt but not in Skt.
