10. We have to understand that the king has given him the order of permission.
16. Te qifafi-Doing their work of spying'. A cognate verb is a having aro-Spying' as its object.
II. The spies talk amongst themselves about the army, its leaders and Bhavisayatta. How he was the soul of the army and how even at night, he was seen planning the campaign.
1. Both editions agree in reading orale stafor; but spatutafor would be more correct. __2. भद्घग्घाडु Jacobi reads उद्धग्धाङ, which is not preferable to अङ्घग्घाडhalf-open.'
4. Jacobi reads परिवा-परिवर्तयति for our परिवडा-परिवर्धयति. The same difference,- for is seen a line below in mart and f.
9. sinnefat - Personal night watchman'.
10. 9. Jacobi's orfety, although neither ungrammatical, nor unidiomatic, is no improvement upon raq.
III. The spies report to the King, how the king of Kaccha, and others are fighting the enemy.
1. fraturfage-afturgagfagott. 79-faywa is quite in place; but aftora is not clear. It is perhaps therefore, that Jacobi, in the glossary, suggests the reading of qurgut etc. A transposition, unwillingly done by the scribe, is not unlikely.
4. Todo is apparently used as a noun 'By a draught.'
6. 9 is wrong. It suits neither metre, nor sense. Possibly it is cu, read badly. Jacobi has 77.
7. From are 4 to end, is object of fatis-points out, tells.'
11. nafs-With a swiftly moving sword.' This is preferable to Jacobi's q uae-With a powerful sword.' Perhaps a has been misread as .
12. The comparison is classical. Kacchädhiva churned the army, just as chuning monntain (AFET) churned the water of the ocean.
IV The battle of the five allies of the Kuru king described. The allies are Harivai, Lohajangha, Kacchāhiva, Paācāla and Parvayavai.
2. The first (or front) army was levelled to the ground, makes capital sense. Jacobi's are for a (ay) makes no good sense.
Eleaf makes a difficulty. Jacobi's fate art would mean by means of tusks of elephants.' To be preferred to ours. The meaning then would be "The army was levelled to the ground, after being driven back by elephants, tusks.'
5. for 925-They wheeled round', for a flank attack(?). 8. Read सव्वहिं for सव्वहं.
