supports this interpretation. However, the commentary refers to parts of the mastaka (mastakāvaya) and the word ghatā (Pali ghātā; Prākrit ghāda) is well attested in Indo-Aryan.
On p. 190 Roth quotes the explanation of ohi as ātmano'rtha-saksāt-karanavyāpāra, which he renders as "Die Beschäftigung mit der Vergegenwärtigung des Gegenstandes des Selbstes". Obviously atmano refers to vyāpāra: "one's activity in making the object present"..

Otto Strauss, Kleine Schriften. Herausgegeben von Friedrich Wilhelm (GlasenappStiftung, Band 24). Wiesbaden, Franz Steiner Verlag GmbH., 1983. XIX, 566 pp. DM 88,
The Kleine Schriften of Otto Strauss (1881-1940) include almost all his articles. The only major one not reprinted is his article on Indian religion in Clemen's Religionen der Erde (München, 1927, pp. 95-144). Particularly welcome is the inclusion of his “Habilitations-schrift" on ethical problems in the Mahābhārata which was first published in 1911 in the Giornale della Società Asiatica Italiana (Vol. 24, pp. 193-335). In it, Strauss clearly explains the principles of pravrtti and nivștti which dominate the ethical horizon of the epic. In the period 1922-1932 Strauss published two books, a translation of Visvanatha Pancanana's Karikavali and Siddhantamuktavali (Leipzig, 1922) and his Indische Philosophie (München, 1925), which both have been reprinted. He also published a series of important philosophical studies of which the following must be mentioned: 'Altindische Spekulationen über die Sprache und ihre Probleme' (ZDMG 81, 1927, pp. 99-151); 'Udgithavidya' (SPAW, philos.-hist. Kl., 1931, pp. 243-310); 'Die älteste Philosophie der Karma-Mimamsa, (ibid., 1932, pp. 469-532). The
