(set) only on the Sallaki (plant), if you (indeed) ask for the truth."
Of क्रीडा the adesa is खेड्ड : (9) HET IT BEHf: faepi, fãs 67a
___ अनुरक्ताः भक्ताः अस्मान् मा त्यज, स्वामिन् ॥
“What do you say ? We were really (just) playing (a joke) (lit. 'sporting'.) O Lord, please do not leave us who are in love with you and adore you."
This is, perhaps, an entreaty of the Gopis to Krşņa who had felt annoyed by their pranks. अणुरत्ताउ भत्ताउ are both Feminine Accusative Plural forms. (Vide sūtra 348).
This is a Prākrit illustration; the metre is sag. Pischel translated the vs. as :
** We have made jokes; why do you call it earnest ? O master, don't desert us who are devoted to you and love you."
Alsdorf emends it slightly :
“We have really only made a joke, what are you talking ? We who are devoted to you in love, do not push us away, 0 Master. ”1
Of रम्य the adesa is रवण्ण. e. g. (10) afia: 7 : 7 aat: 77 3719 Jana: 1
देशाः रम्याः भवन्ति मूर्ख निवसद्भिः सुजनैः ॥ " It is not by rivers, nor ponds, nor lakes, nor by gardens and sylvan-parks that the regions look delightful, you silly one ! (But it is) from the good persons living there that these places derive their charms)."
Taour could be better traced to * The 8 I 'Alsdorf, Apabhramsa Studian, p. 87. 2 cf. H. C. Bhayari, Apabhramsa Vyakarana, p. 154.
