∗ I have already noted the fact that the commander must not only be a hero, *çūra*, but ‘of good family’: *kulīnaḥ*, ii. 5. 46 ; so R. ii. 109. 40 ; and in R. ii. 109. 28 ‘a hero and *saṃgrāmanitijña*.’ † *nārjunaṃ jahatur yuddhe pālyamānau kirīṭinā*, 31 : an unusual use for ‘protected.’ ‡ *yathābhāgaṃ yathotsāhaṃ yathāyatnaṃ ca*, 32 : compare vi. 1. 30.
