the word घट् । सत्यं स्यात् may possibly be correct or true. The Nirnayasagar edition and the commentary of Yogiraja read
instead of ; but as the reading does not agree with the context I do not think it possible to accept the reading. The sentence :: fear found in the previous stanza and the word found in this stanza clearly show that the statement made in this stanza is alternative and in apposition to the one made in the previous stanza. The sentence referred to above and the word I found in this stanza help us in determining the reading correctly. Though the statement that the god of love does not wield his flowery bow, made by the people, is false, owing to the amorous gestures of the youths and the young ladies of the city being actually seen, it may also be true for the work of the god of love is seen being done by the glances of the beautiful ladies of the city and not by the god of love himself. This being the import of the previous stanza and of the present one, the reading, in my opinion, is preferable to the reading found in the Nirnayasagara edition and in the commentary of Yogiraja.

According to Mallinatha, the word उत्तरेण is एनप्प्रत्ययान्त and so it governs the Accurative case under the rule 'ar fîar' (91). From this point of view he reads धनपतिगृहान् in place of धनपतिगृहात् I cannot agree with this view. Mallinatha seems to have forgotten the word, used by Panini in bis aphorism — एनबन्यतरस्यामदूरेऽपञ्चम्याः '. The commentary of Bhattoji
