however if the stanza under notice be as under it would justify the parallel statements of ACSS and others :दड-जलिएसु मरणं ण उ आलिंगि [आ] एसु वह (°°) इ । संतासु अ जीवइ रोइ (ई) णत्थि त्ति संदेहो ॥ १६९ ॥ 170 Drop the hyphen after za.

See App. XII). The commentary on the Uttarajjhayana describes the good as in the following stanza :अलंकृतानां द्रव्याणां वाजिवारणयोस्तथा । वृषभस्य च शुकस्य दर्शने प्रामुयाद्यशः ॥ (com. on chap. 8).
