^36:2 Keie, kaitya. The commentator interprets it as meaning udyana, park; but to make good his interpretation he takes vakkhe for an instrumental plural instead of a nominative singular. The context itself seems to militate against this interpretation; for it is natural to say of a tree that it has many leaves, but it is rather strained to say the same of a park.

^37:1 An instrument for defending a town.

^37:2 Gakkhasi. The commentator explains this as an imperative, but there is no necessity for it.

^37:3 Tigutta, this is a pun on the three guptis.

^38:1 Vardhamanagriha; the houses which are so called, belong to the best kind, see Varaha Mihira, Brihat Samhita 53, 36.

^39:1 The first line of this verse is in the Arya-metre, the second in Anushtubh; the whole will not construe, but the meaning is clear. There are numerous instances in which the metre changes in the same stanza from Arya to Anushtubh, and vice versa, so frequent they are that we are forced to admit the fact that the authors of these metrical texts did not shrink from taking such liberties.

^39:2 Ghorasama. A Gaina author cannot forbear to name things from his religious point of looking at them. Thus only can it be explained that here Indra is made to apply to the asrama of the householder an attribute which not he but his opponent could have used. Our verse is, however, probably only a later addition, as it has not the burden of the verses put into the mouth of Indra.

^41:1 The wheel and the hook.
