How in the morning Bhavisa discovers an old track leading into hills and resolves to follow it, whatever might happen. 1. ofcs faig etc.-It dawned. Sk. marta ai. 3. गयपयहिणंति-Separate the words as गय पयहिणंति, which alone can give good sense. "Went by his right side.' 14-3914: the black bird, i. e. the crow. 4. 96-rustles.' The wind rustles on his left, evidently a good omen. The word रुहरुहिका is used in the figurative sense of उत्कण्ठा. forcay_Who readily brings about union' (of lovers etc.). This belief is so deep-rooted that Indian women of all classes believe in it even today. Cf. fe are air for Sandhi VIII kad. I. 5. किलिंकिंचिउ-Is onomatopoetic for the notes of the लावक or lark. 7. por faoi FIFAPiy-As a blessed person finds an (old) manuscript of Jina's teachings, gury jy is evidently used to suggest that the Jina-doctrine also is an 'old path' and no newfangled doctrine. 8. #-I shall go by this.'

Generally however, is termination for the plural. But that it came to be used for the singular also is clear from this and other examples. It is not due to metre, though some-times some forms are made to suit metrical exigencies. VI. How, after crossing the mountaneous region and a thick black forest of Tamala trees, Bhavisa sees a city with palaces and archways and whitepainted houses, but quite noiseless. 1. affequi-Is evidently an attribute of Bhavisa. He was a talented ( :) and good man (F ). But often as in I 9. Beyor stands in our work for UEFA. 2. Reyes-. Apparently they in the Sk. word is represented by a, as in fernag for Sk. faragfa. This might be called agfa. 3. gjafts Or ASOT -Distanced, as time is by time.' i. e. Just as one moment of time succeeds and distances another, so every step of Bhavisa brought him further into the hilly country.
