1. 4. rajanya-pota. Repeated in Anar. IV 35/36
I 6. apräkrtasya, &c mama hangs a little loose in the sentence. I am sure it is to be construed with hrtasya (thus hrtasya mama) Malyavān has already said that Rama's ahankāra can be grasped only by men of very sharp intellect. Ordinary mortals fail entirely to realize his inner nature. He emphasizes the same view in this verse, and proceeds Although I know full well that he is no ordinary person, and excels all by reason of his marvellous deeds, still I fail to fully comprehend his real nature in general (or his ahankāra in particular). But this much I can say with certainty that he is some uncommon hero in the body of a child' Pick construes mama with bhāvarh, and translates. Though he is attracted by the marvellous acts of me.. still he exhibits indifference towards me', which, however, not only does not fit in with the context, but also falsely attributes indifference to Rāma which he has not yet shown in the least. Jy explains it similarly, and as an illustration of Rāma's indifference, refers to his words, 'Embrace is contrary to what you have commenced'. AB. explains anästhā as lack of trust' Though Rāma has captivated his heart, yet he cannot trust him entirely Rāma is not what he outwardly looks, a mere child, but a great hero and so fit to be dreaded.
