¹²⁷⁰ It is difficult to construe the printed text here It runs: 'नमो अस्तु सर्पेभ्य.' इति तिसृभिश्च च्छन्दस पञ्चचोदा 'अयं पुरो हरिकेश' इति पञ्चभि. पर्यायै. &c. 'पञ्चचोदा means a brick with five protuberances The तै. स V 3 7. 2 has पञ्चचोदा उपदधात्यप्सरस एवैनमेता भूता अमुष्मिँल्लोक उप शेर ; which means 'He puts down the bricks with five crests (protuberances), indeed these becoming Apsarases lie down near him in the yonder world' But there is no mantra here Besides अनु च च्छन्दसं is not clear Is it अनुच्छन्दसम् with च inserted between अनु and छन्दसम् or is it a printer's mistake?
