³ Mahā-Bhārata (Kumbakonam), *Śānti-Parva*, XLIV. 16, **पौरजानपदा यस्य स्यनुरक्ता अपीडिताः।** **राष्ट्रकर्मकरा ह्येते राष्ट्रस्य च विरोधिनः ॥** [The context and grammar show that verse 16 which ought to precede immediately verse 18 has been detached and put in its present position. Verse 17 really reads with verse 15.]
