szigoify? The reading 24h furnishes one more example of the declension of an indeclinable. See notes on stanza 150, 221 and 377. gaat is to be uttered with filh i.e. interrogative modulation of the voice.

The duplication of is in accordance with HS.VIII.2.97 (And at). sariarot refers to women who have been separated from their consorts and who have somehow managed to remain alive during their absence. The use of the masculine from forniti is strange. It should be feriatui ( = hardtaia ) or better fruit (=5471:). Temat singular, stands for 1951 plural. f4z6= faqat = faastra I The idea seems to be as follows: Women in separation somehow manage to keep themselves alive during the absence of their consorts on the strength of the hope that they would come back sooner or later.

HŚ VIII.1.35 : 13.131: F). The commentator's remark leaves no doubt that the reading which he had before him was HET ONT 374) instead of Laber's Hongonit 34781). The commentator points out that this is the desperate utterance of a lady whose consort had failed to return on the promised day. इंते = आयति । 25+=HaithCt. the form ita in st. 10. If the consort returns as promised by him, the separation will of course come to an
