THE RISTASAMUCCAYA
By comparing we find that both the descriptions do not agree even in one item. Thus it further corroborates my hypothesis that the author is a representative of an altogether different tradition as I have proved in the
Introduction and also heretofore in the Notes. 246 The second half of the stanza is metrically defective. 250 tastete He is grammatically not a happy expression.
रेवइदिअहा समुद्दिट्ठा would have been correct. 252 Regns-The anusvāra is there because of metrical
necessity. 370770-Even if one has glimpses of evil, it cannot be averted. Then why not face it boldly? In other words, when one gets prognostications of death, he should patiently undertake to fast unto death. Compare the following stanza of PSU :
धीरेण वि मरियम्वं कापुरिसेण मि अवस्स मरियव्वं । तम्हा भवस्समरणं वरं सुधीरत्तणे मरि ।
(p. 301) 254 53-A transcript of the following eight Sts. provided
by Pt. Jugalkishoreji could not solve my difficulties as
the MS. which he has got seems to be of the P type. 255 [HH] S9F_The lacuna cannot be more fittingly filled
up.
256 वरिटुं—The PV allows the dropping of initial अ as in अलाबू
and 377024 (See 1, 66). Ang also is equally tenable. 257 °AIt seems a scribal error of a metathetical nature.
So I have emended it accordingly. पंचंग-सद्दागमी would have been certainly more welcome.
58-The anusvāra is there to meet metrical demands. 258 artarapuurait---This Tatpuruşa compound which is of the
type of कृष्णश्रित can be solved as वागीश्वरमापन्नः । 259 Het a d etc. This and the phrase Ft Api (?) 7 OHI
faqat do not yield satisfactory meaning though the sense is somewhat like this :
So long as there is this earth owned by kings as well as there are the snake (shqari), the gods, the sky and the Ganges (in this case lane will have to be emended by @YEI). Fri can also mean heaven. Compare the following stanza of YR:
यावद्व्योमनि बिम्बमम्बरमणेरिन्दोश्च विद्योतते
यावरसप्त पयोधयः सगिरयस्तिष्ठन्ति पृष्ठे भुवः । 13
