735) gfahi = Tira, height, tall stature. Hay peculiar quality or property of the soil. =E, the gitt on being metri causa. फलाण रिद्धी, abundance of fruit. होसई = भविष्यति [an Apabhramsa trait (cf. st. 54, 275, 331, 639 etc.)], will result or will be determined.
AT THITUT, according to the nature of the seed. The statement made here, that the height of the Vața tree is the result of the peculiar property of the soil, but that the abundance of fruit is due to the peculiar property of the seed, is not a correct statement. Both the height and the abundance of fruit depend partly on the favourable nature of the soil and partly on the nature of the seed.

VIII.4.32.Cf. Marathi giao (used in rural areas by uneducated people). जा का वि तुगिमा your wonderful height. दोसेहि समा, is matched by your faults i.e. it is as immense as your faults.
738) बुदि नीओ, was reared, brought up. सयसलिलदाणसेवाए, by means of watering service rendered a hundred times, i.e. countless times. सय = शत. सय can also be understood in the sense of 997, "watering service, rendered by them with their own hands".
