1. 56 चिज्जइ comes from चि to pluck, to collect, and then eat. The T gives med which is only a secondary sense of the root.
6. 10 देवदिवायराह, of god आदित्यप्रभ who in subsequent birth became मेरु. 9. 1la बिण्णि वि एयइं, i.e., यज्ञोपवीत as well as मुद्रिका.
14. la णावइ वारुणि, like wine. .. 15. 6a तूलिहि, on a mattress made of cotton ( तूल ).
18. 4b कम्मारउ, a labourer.
LVIII 9. laपण तह का etc. The line means: Now for the sake of अनन्त ( तहु कइ, तस्य कृते) the royalty ( राज्यश्री ) suffered pangs of love; she fainted ( but was brought round ( सञ्चयण कय ) by fanning ) by means of chowries.
11. 86 मिहिरमहाहिय, superior in lustre ( मह, महस् ) to the sun ( मिहिर ).
13. 12a अमवासाणिसियहि, on the night of अमावास्या. Both गुणभद्र and पुष्पदन्त do not mention the month which is #7. Probably we are to borrow the name of the month from 11.la.
16. 9 महुसूयणु i. e. मधुसूदन the Mss use promiscuously महसूयणु and महुसूयणु. In Hindu Mythology मधुसूदन is the name of विष्णु. Are we to take मखसूदन to be the name, which is confounded with मधुसूदन ?
21. Note the दामयमक or श्रृंखलायमक throughout the कडवक.
