2. d. Tib. translates here the text figuratively: ni bhavisyati (iti) kathaya kim prayojanam ( 295 'A'!" $# 5ATN ), the laet part of which (i.e. a fi gata) is also for Skt. kā kathā in the Catuḥśataka, 285d. is nf. and imp. of g'a 'to call, remark, or assert.'

In Tib. 39999 (pf. 99 or 99 ) is used in the sense of Skt. V pat 'to move downwards,' 'to come down,' *to fall down'. We may therefore read here and and not pand taking the former in the sense of Skt. patati as an equivalent to lambate for which in Tib. we have 235 or འཕུངས.

1. 4. དྲ་བ, jala ·web* is to be taken here for དྲ་བ་ཅན་ Similarly in d 235, Skt. vayas 'age", is to be taken for gamb 395, lit. 'of equal age', i.e. a vayasya 'friend.'
