Notes
1. Ed. by H. D. Velankar in Rajasthan Puratana Granthamālā, No. 37 (1963). The edited text reads viucchiṭṭhā in the passage -cited here and translates it with Sk. vyucchiṣṭa. The idea the Moon felt disgust for his beloved Moonlight' is more attractive than 'the Moon felt, his beloved Moonlight was undesirable like leavings'.
2. The text given in the Kavyamālā edition (No. 94) of the Sarasvatikaṇṭhābharana is considerably corrupt. Pischel tried to improve upon it in his Materialien zur Kenntnis des Apabhraṁśa (1902), p. 55 st. XIX. Alsdorf in his Apabhramsa-Studien (1937), p. 93 reconsidered Pischel's suggestions and interpretations and offered his own emendations and interpretations. Alsdorf's view that the stanza is in the Räsävalya metre (ie. 12+9=21 morae per Pada, with three light syllables for the last three mora) is quite sound, but the text adopted here differs in several points. from either Pisehel's or Alsdorf's. I give them below:
