NOTES

9.48 -A meal-course; or a nice meal if we take the alternative reading(). By a series of double entrendes the meal is compared to a forest, a couple, a poem, gatikarma, a drama, an evening, Katantra (grammar), good poetry and a herd of lions.
Note fa used for a, which acc. to Vararuci, is a characteristic of Paisaci ('gatu fta:' aufta ga Var. X, 4) but acc. to Hem. II, 182, is common to all Prakrits. Dr. Woolner thinks the illustration of Vararuci as probably taken from the Brhat katha (Intro. to Prak. p. 91).
We have here a mention of Katantra, i. e. the grammar going by that name which acc. to tradition, was composed by Sarva-varman at the request of a prince of the Satavahana family, during the early centuries of the Christian era. It is, probably, this work which Hiuen Tsang refers to as the grammar reduced to 2,500 slokas by a Brahman of South India, and widely spread even throughout all the frontier provinces. The earliest known commentator, Durgasimha cannot be placed later than the 8th century. (See E. H. D. p.54-55; Life of Hiuen Tsang, Beal's trans. p. 122; SS G. For further information see Katantra and KaumaraLata' by Luders-Berlin 1930).
10. 13 यि पियर व णु-निजप्रियारमणः ( निजस्त्रीकान्तः परस्त्रीपराङ्गमुख: टि. )
10. 16 This is Dharma; or else, are there any tall horns on the brow of
Dharma ?'
11. 5 He had two queens Satyavati and Vasundhara, beaming with love and keeping grain and gold' Join सच्चवइ with वसुंधरिउ and णेहुज्जल with सास..
12. 4-5-These two lines seem to be interpolated for supplying the geneology of Vanaraja. This is the conclusion to which I am driven by noticing the natural connection between line 3 and 6 which is clumsily interrupted by the intervening lines, combined with the fact that the latter are found in one MS. only and there also, added subsequently on the margin.
12. 10 You are a rooted tree to the good' (i. e. affording protection like the shade and fruit of a tree).
