mukham samskuryāt The intended sense seems to be 'He defiles his own mouth by talking so derogatorily about us Just as all impure articles are purified by the application of suitable methods, so let his face be likewise punfied by a method suited to it, namely, by giving him slaps or the like'. Jy explains. 'let his mouth be purified, so that he may not utter such expressions again, in other words, let propei punishment be accorded to him'. AB. renders it by disfigure his face', and SR. by 'punish'. For the story see Rām. VI. 41 For the legality of such a punishment administered to an ambassador see Ram V 52, Mahānātaka V. 75 (No 312), VII 32 (No. 469).
