Pischel³ explains the form which occurs there not as an adjective, but as an infinitive. - [Previous: v1.c3.s4.227](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s4.227) - [Next: v1.c3.s4.229](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s4.229) - [Up: v1.c3.s4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s4.228](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s4.228) · Pramāṇa
