1. 4. yesäm utksepahetuh, &c. The sense is not very clear. What can be their motive for tossing the mountains about? I think the author alludes herein to the sportive nature of the monkeys Just as they, out of love of mere sport, shake and toss the trees about, so they toss the mountains too and with equal ease. If so, we should have rather expected the genitive case instead of the locative szkharisu SR understands it to mean who climb up the mountains for the sake of biead-fruit and figs, or in other words, it is but natural to climb the mountains' Pick translates, and the cause of whose leaping on the mountains is this forest of fig-trees'. Both are distinctly wrong, for, climbing up the mountains, and that, too, foi the sake of fruit, is nothing very extraordinary From the context it is clear that the poet purposes to mention some very marvellous feat in this line too as in the two others which precede and follow.
