Pischel's rendering of the first caraṇa— How shall the wicked day be spent like the night when it comes in ?' - is obviously erroneous. Perhaps he has misread fåter for fa.
Alsdorf corrects it as : “How at last the night shall come ?” His interpretation og = "at last' is rather doubtful. In the above verse in and fat are the ūdeśas of PTH. (2) 37 oftgrafafsta: prà factat: TIE: 1
