Another instance of a similar ancient false repetition we have in No. 13, *kapālikā*, elbow-pan, where now all MSS. read *jānu-kapālikā*, falsely duplicating the preceding No. 12, *jānu*, kneecap. Here, again, it may be noted that the parallel Non-medical Version does not exhibit the duplication of jānu. It has simply No. 12, jānu, knee-cap, and No. 13, kapola, elbow-pan, the latter being really a false reading for kapāla (§ 53).
