The commentator on the Aupapatikasutra § 56 (ed-Leumann) gives equivalent of कवड. as which occurs in Kalpasutra I 1, 6 has been rendered 'isolated place' by Leumann. The passage in question mentions several topographical names; e. g. गाम, नगर, खेड, कव्वड, मडंब, पट्टण, आगर, दोणमुह, निगम, रायधाणि, etc. etc.-Seeing (i. e. hearing or experiencing) the languages of different countries, they approached the sea, girded with the shore.' 4. 6. etc.-Playing with the huge (4) breakers against the coast.' 7. 'The vast shores were seen by them, buzzing with the words of people buying and selling.' 10. Gosia etc.-The peculiar rites to be performed when floating a ship for the first time.' णिज्जावय — निर्यापक 12. XXIII The boats glided quietly along the surface of the sea for a time; but soon a gale overtook them and carried them to a wooded shore. It was the Mainaka-dwrpa, with the Maināka mountain in the background. 1. for has a double meaning. As qualifying augi. e. the boats, it means 'without iron,' and as attribute of gf it means without avarice.' 2. forfeur & f again in two senses; 'broken (scattered) and without money' to qualify the boats, and 'soft and useless or purposeless' to qualify the hearts of good men and the deeds of bad men. 5. बच्चताहं - Gen. of the present participle from वच्च्. not much to do with , although the meaning is the Desi.

The interior of which was full of wicked animals of difficult grasp.' 8. संघट्ट-संघृष्टाः dashed against ; ' Adj of पोय= पोताः 9. दुसंचरु is really दुस्संचरु; but the conjunct is given up perhaps for the sake of metre. The simile contained in the line is remarkable. The mountain was as impenetrable etc. as a lover is to women. XXIV The young traders, having got down there, began to busy themselves in bringing water, fruits and flowers. In the meanwhile Bhavisa entered the forest and picking up flowers and fruits was led away far deeper into it than he perhaps expected to do. In the meanwhile Bandhuyatta, disregarding the fact that Bhavisa had not returned, gave orders to start. 1. There is change of metre in this section.
