11. At this place, in place of saham, I have imagined sadam which I have put in round brackets with a question mark; the meaning of sadam is 'mane of a lion'. Even saham fits well in the context, its meaning being 'looking beautiful or splendid' and by extension '(a lion) looking beautiful or splendid with its mane'. Rathodji has written a ridiculous note on saham, it is as follows: saha avyaya -sarddham sabdarthe-prākṛtatvad anusvāram.

1. After conception, the mother of a tirthamkara sees fourteen dreams. Of them, the thirteenth dream is of 'a heap of jewels'. This heap of jewels is given the simile of fire. Rathodji gives Sanskrit chāyā bahudhāvaham follows: śreṣṭhendhanaprajvalitam nijakabhutisamyuktam | prekṣanti ratnacayam kiranavalirañjitadiśodasam Our edition contains the correct and original readings, viz. 'va huyavaham' (Sk. 'iva hutabhujam', that is, 'like fire') and 'disoham' (Sk. 'diśaugham', that is, 'multitude of directions). Rathodji has introduced corruptions in the correct readings. Is this an instance of research and critical editing? For the sake of metre short
is changed into long in pecchamti.
2. Sanskrit chaya in the Jalore edition is: atha ca prabhāte. 3. Sanskrit chaya in the Jalore edition is: brūvāte upaviśya.
4. Sanskrit chaya in the Jalore edition is: kşane. If the editor had consulted the dictionary Paiyasaddamahannavo, he would have known that the word vana has the meaning of alaya, bhavana (dwelling place, mansion, house) also.
5. Sanskrit chaya in the Jalore edition is: yuşmabhyah namah
