As read by M. Émile Senart, together with his Notes
translated from French.
... pratasuhino apramadaviha , .
Apramadaviha is, I suppose, the remnant of apra. madaviharino, which we again find, for instance, in Itivut., ed. Windisch, p. 74, 1, 5, equally in the genitive. Pratasuhino must be in the same way a genitive singular=prāptasukhinah. It is clear that the two words might also be some nominative forms in the plural.
2 apramadi pramodiaa ma gami ratisabhamu
apramato hi jhayatu visosa adhikachatid O
Cf. Dhammapada, 27.
a. Pramodia=Pali pamodeya, with the y dropped (cf.
miraegu, I. 4, sevea, AS, %, etc.), and with the change of e into i, which is so frequent in locatives like apramadi (AS, 13), and not only at the end of words.
