Perhaps he understands सेवा सुखं करोतु in the sense of सेवा सुखं गच्छतु, i. e. सेवया कृतम् । सेवा at is active voice, while is passive voice (imperional construction). Weber (1881), p. 448 renders the last quarter as follows: Well may service bring happiness (but that does not fascinate us). The commentator साधारणदेव says : सेवा शिवं करोतु सेवकानां न माशानां निरीहाणाम् । रालय —a kind of edible food grain, Marathi राळा.

as if he has been honoured. He regards the opportunity to fight and strike at the enemy as a great honour done to him. as if he is a newly employed servant, who is only too eager to give striking evidence of his loyalty to his master by doing daring deeds on the battle-field.
166 ) कप्परिअ = दारित pierced or gored. PLM 573 and DNM II. 20 record this word in the sense of दारित or दलित.
167) एकमेकस्स जाइ - एकैकस्य याति charges at one enemy after another. Or we may understand in the sense 'at one another'. In that case should be taken as standing for Hel (plural), the hostile warriors charge at one another.
