48) The stanza refers to a belief that the sandal-tree does not bear any fruit. We should expect afth or see instead of कोयस्स.
50) agen (=T144 57) put on the pale. Laber follows the reading सूलाहिनु व्व (=शूलाभिन्न इव) broken or pierced by a pale.
The Nominative singular ending in 3 is an Apabhraṁsa trait. Cf. HS. VIII.7.331. The epithets arrita and afaa hold good in the case of a Tati or Tefta person, whọ hangs down from the pale in a lifeless and limp manner. But it is difficult to see how they can go with either a c or an af77a5cft person. The adjective विषमदृष्टिदुष्प्रेक्ष्य holds good in the case of all the three. विषम (1) Cruel (2) dreadful, terrible. It is possible to explain great in the case of the , as being equal to afaa, too shrewd to be deceived by anybody. We have here a double comparison, the color being compared with an impaled person and with a person who has risen to prosperity suddenly.
51) दुम्मुह (1) = दुर्मुख having an evil face, or = द्विमुख having a double face i.e., double-tongued or double-mouthed, in the case of the ans (Cf.

Hozitare (1) crooked or narrow in his mind (#2), with the CT (2) narrow or tapering in the middle, in the case of the nail cutter. Bateze = आवलित pressed or squeezed, cf. आवळणे in Marathi अत्थिखंडणसमत्थो = (1) fa que FETE; (2) fagusah : ( = GUTETUTEHET:, fa = 474 wealth); (3) sha*: in the case of the co; (4) 374 queadas: in the case of the nail-cutter. EHÀ710---(1) creating estrangement between friends intimate like the finger-nail and the flesh out of which it grows, in the case of the clan (2) separating the finger-nail from the flesh in which it is embedded and out of which it grows in the case of the nail-cutter. Hosilapat can also be explained as bending down at the waist for making a false show of modesty, in the case of the Co; and in the case of the nail-cutter it can be equated with #grasforn (=# 053 = Harapa). A means narrow or tapering. Cf. FATTAH 1.39 2.a ar gafaremet.
