The word appears to be incorrectly written, because the metre shows that the first syllable is always short. Roth³ accordingly suggested that Chadis should be read instead. But Chadis means ‘roof,’ while Chardis never has that sense. Bartholomae⁴ is therefore probably right in suggesting some other form, such as Chaḍis. - [Previous: v1.c3.s15.25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s15.25) - [Next: v1.c3.s15.27](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s15.27) - [Up: v1.c3.s15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s15) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s15.26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s15.26) · Pramāṇa
