________________ Dr. K. R. Chandra (4) 10 c/d Alsdorf offers the following readings : Evas vivegamadaya / samvaso na kappaye daviye. This pada has 29 matras only. If 'adaya' is changed to 'adaye' then the fourth gana has four matra instead of three and the 30th matras is restored. 'Adaye' the absolutive form is more popular in Ardhamagadhi. This critical analysis reveals that still the text needs revision and the claim of Dr. Alsdorf that he is offering revised text removing the deficiencies and corruptions as regards the metrical regularity can not be admitted wholly. With regards for and respect to the late Professor, I have to say that how could not all these discrepancies and deficiencies attract his attention. *Ex.
