VAJJĀLAGGIM
= q* in Sanskrit, cf, 4414 wbich is the Ablative singular of 9 used in the Veda in the sense of quota. See Pānini V.3.33 922 CAT च च्छन्दसि । The पश्चा used in the Veda in the sense of पश्चात्, is also Instrumental singular from 99 with the addition of the termina. tion 31. alacat, a banian tree or a thicket (grove) of banian trees. विडव = विटप really means a branch and विटपिन् means a tree. But fazt can be credited with the sense of a tree by adding the possessive Taddhita suffix 37 (333faitsi Pāṇini V. 2. 127). See st. 482, garasal. AZT also means a cluster, clump or thicket. This latter sense also suits well in the present case. gas stands for yrag (gfart), with the final 5 shortened into metri causa. Cf. ( = 1) st. 352.

For the device of kissing the eye, cf. st. 607 infra. For sala, Apabhramsa form, see note on st. 234. Mss. G and I read gaan met and where gaan also is an Apabhramsa form of the Indeclinable past participle (Absolutive) and og means softly or gently. 3161 = a. See the word gyfer st. 352. 739, 785. Cf. Marathi an, 9257.
476) Hāla 197, where the reading is 7 for at in the second quarter. जुण्णसुरा = जीणेसुरा old, highly intoxicating wine. साहीणा at ber disposal. In the face of these temptations, if she is not to turn unchaste, should she die? There are only two possibilities--to succumb to these temptations and to turn unchaste or to die. If she does not turn unchaste then the only course open to her is to die.
477) T8134 = 417 mercy, favour, grace. #79171 ich = Flatkach : the stigma or blemish or disrepute of chastity. Cf. ad aprit apo तरुणिमनि यूनः परिणतावपीच्छामो वृद्धान् तदिह कुलरक्षा समुचिता। त्वयारब्धं जन्म क्षपयितुमनेनैकपतिना न नो गोत्रे पुत्रि क्वचिदपि सतीलाञ्छनमभूत् ॥
