NOTES

the death (destruction) of travellers. The logical connection between the two halves of the stanza is not clear. The goddess of the spring season as if apprehends that the travellers will succumb to the exciting influence of the spring season, and the mango-tree wails profusely under the guise of the humming sound of bees. The propriety of the question किं करइ and of the adverb तुरियतुरियं is not clear. The question fee remains unanswered. We expect some such answer as सोयइ व्व or रुयइ व्व or कंदइ व्व or विलवइ व्व. The second half cannot be an answer to the question किं करइ सहयारो. MSS. G and I read पहियाण जियविणासासंकिय व, which is supported by the commentator's explanation, although it disturbs the metre.
637) Hala 311, where the reading in the second quarter is वसंतमासेकल पसराण. The words लंकालयाण, वसंतमासम्मि, आवीयलोहियाणं and पलासाणं are used with a double meaning in each case. जणो पलासाणं बीइ (love-sick) people are afraid of looking at the Palāśa flowers just as they are afraid of looking at the demons.

VIII.3.134. HŚ.VIII 4.53 gives भा and बीह as धात्वादेशs for the root भी. See st. 58. बीह is. to be traced to the Sanskrit form बिमेमि ( = बिहेमि ) with elongation of बि.
