: stanza, which refers to Yoga (i.e. f871) and to saat. The explanation given in the commentary is obscure : 991 faat watu 1 (by credulous people) तन्माहात्म्यानरविमानमारोहितस्य (placed upon a bier carried by people on their shoulders) ददद्दानं वाद्यमानमर्दलं नीयमानस्य ***1719 g (V. L. Frue) Hafd, aut 99 retea hai giafora ! Does the author mean that just as in the case of a monk, who has renounced the world and is leading the life of a recluse, the attainment of heaven (or liberation) is very difficult, so in the case of a servant the attainment of happiness is extremly difficult ?
154) सि होज्ज =त्वं भवेः or भूयाः or even भवसि (Cf.HS VIII.3.177). The verbal form fe is used here in the sense of a#. In Sanskrit aft is sometimes used in the sense of 3761. Cf. stanza 734, last quarter. For a rea FT cf. fefeafHf7791554 in st. 68 and 582. IE
E tui fan a Raco, no generosity (liberality) has been observed by anybody in you, any more than the oozing of the ichor-fluid (GF) is observed in the case of an elephant painted in a picture,Hence; though you may be a person devoted to religion accorcing to your own ideas, we shall go away and have nothing to do with you, as we do not see any prospect of receiving any gifts or charities from you. 21 (1) generosity or liberality, (2) exudation of the ichor-fluid.
155) The jack-fruit tree (407 = 977) bears fruit right on its stem or trunk, so that they are easily accessible to every body. The palm tree (ato), however, bears fruits on its top beyond the easy reach of all. Cf. st. 737 where the tāla tree is described as दरदावियफल.
156) It is difficult to see how this stanza glorifying the 2017 tree can find a place in the 2005 t. It is a mis-fit here. The same holds good in the case of the next stanza. Cf. stanzas 546-551 and 645, which too are mis-fits in their respective sections. Fe36
=931€ = 793014 =-FI. See HŚ VIII. 1.249 (sarai atsareni ar 1). .. The shortening of च्छा into च्छ is metri causa. मम्गण = मार्गण = याचक : -a seeker.
157) gheanfaa = zilfan, Ħt being shortened into a metri ..causa, or glèu may be taken as a past participle from H = 04
