Note 2. Ghritâkî seems to be taken here in a technical sense, like ghritavat, i. e. with oblations of butter thrown into the fire. In I, 167, 3, I took ghritâkî in the more general sense of bright, resplendent, while others ascribed to it the meaning of bringing fatness, i. e. rain. It may also mean accompanied by ghee. See B.-R. s. v.

Verse 8.

Note 1. Ritasprís, probably not very different from ritasâ´p.
