This interpretation, which is that of Delbrück,² is clearly correct, as against the older version, ‘march out,’ given by von Schroeder³ and accepted by Böhtlingk.⁴ The Udāja thus corresponds precisely with the Homeric γέρας. This sense also suits Nirāja, the variant of both the Kāṭhaka⁵ and the Kapiṣṭhala⁶ Saṃhitās. - [Previous: v1.c3.s4.49](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s4.49) - [Next: v1.c3.s4.51](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s4.51) - [Up: v1.c3.s4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s4) ## Linked texts (2) - [Kāṭhakasaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.krsnayajur*kathaka.28.3) — Sanskrit - [Maitrāyaṇīsaṃhitā](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.samhita.krsnayajur*maitrayani.1.10.16) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s4.50](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s4.50) · Pramāṇa
