68 The negative particle is practically misplaced ; it must be constructed with the fonrth påda.
I take suma in sam-invita to be the same as samya; or it may be a misspelling for sama. 6. Labhas? I take to be the locative singular of labhasa "one who saks."
61 lit., "taking thyself and thy goods." I read arthai-cha. The third pada is short by one syllable, which may be mended by resolving the sandhi and reading ch-aiva arthaf-cha.
I take paras as an adverb " on the other side," and part as the abl. sing., for pardt. Or, para may be taken as a verbal prefix with sprihayish yasi. « Para, nom. sing., scl. chinta.
Perhape road div&bhi (dvébhih) by the devas.'
