14 ancha-samaya-vyutparnam The syntactical relation of this compound is uncertain. Grammatically it qualifies puram, but how can a town originate at different times? I think it is to be understood as equivalent to anekasamaya-vyutpanna-kriyam (and sanarr ekibhüya eka-riyam). If so, it is another case of Bhavabhūti's loose constructions
1. 6 trat. The force of this pronoun is not at all clear. VR. points out - that the words may either be taken as spoken on behalf of Janaka, who

1. 2. malaya-kandara-Zulāyam. Or else, as Pick. translates it, 'our home in the caverns of the Malaya mountain'.
1. 5. vyakta-sphurat is a difficult compound, because of the uncertainty whether (a) vyakta is to be taken as an adverb modifying sphurat (= clearly flashing') or as an independent past passive participle; and whether (b) vyaktasphurat is an epithet of vidyut, or whether it is the effect of the huge flappings, just as mocita and dhuta aie.
