the Saṁskṛta source : cp. BeFi IX.9 ( and 11 ) dvādaśādityasaṁkāśāh' ( -śo respectively ), which is an epithet of the judges (and of Yama respectively ). The sense of the Rājasthānī passage is : 'There were burning (i.e., they were burning like ) twelve united suns.' In Sadala Miśra's text, the Saṁsksta passage has been rendered correctly (p. 26).

22. BeFi X.20 ‘ärāmam chedayed yas tv agnimadhye kşipanti taṁ'. Cp. Ab. IV.29. As to bakakalesa, see note on VII.83.
