105) The second quarter i Eife 74045 is hypermetric with 19 mātrās instead of the usual 18. FERT = . DNM III. 27. records fest in the sense of festa 37 i.e.se. HS. VIII.4.282 gives fa as a Ta1a5 for y2 HS VIII.2.138 records fee and get in the sense of eqe. Laber reads argfesait. The correct reading is obviously वाहलियाउ or वाहलिया य. The commentator seems to have read arge 4. argfesat a stream or rivulet. Cf. st. 259. Cf. Marathi Sta. The reading a great can be justified by supposing that 24 has been changed into * (Falco).
106) The exact sense of the six expressions tafey, apa, faara, घडंत, विघडंत and संघडिज्जत is not clear. These six expressions are ob. viously to be construed as adjectives qualifying समारद्धं (कज्ज). It appears that the expressions संघडिय and संघडिज्जत, घडिय and घडत and daß, and masa form three pairs, in each of which the first expression conveys that the action (संघटन, घटन or विघटन) is already accomplished and the second expression conveys that the action is in the process of being accomplished. For fagia cf. st. 103 faecatito. The rendering of jaght as planning and of 9277 as starting is only conjectural and tentative. V 397674 = V 37967 to throw away, give up, disregard, set at naught.
107) The commentator's remark that the moon is granteazaTi is rather intriguing.
108) It is not clear why fate should turn its face away, if it really wants to nod its head in approbation or admiration. Perhaps the idea is that fate feels itself humiliated or defeated in its efforts to make the enterprising persons to give up their endeavour On tinding that the enterprising persons are not deterred, but that they actually perform the most daring and difficult deeds, fate takes that as a humiliation and turns its face away in anger. But this is only a temporary, momentary reaction. It nods its head in admiration all the same in a sporting spirit. Or we may suppose that although in the beginning fate may have turned its face away and may have been adverse and unfavourable still later on it admires the undaunted, indomitable spirit of the enterprising persons and nods its head in appreciation.
