Perhaps he understands सेवा सुखं करोतु in the sense of सेवा सुखं गच्छतु, i. e. सेवया कृतम् । सेवा at is active voice, while is passive voice (imperional construction). Weber (1881), p. 448 renders the last quarter as follows: Well may service bring happiness (but that does not fascinate us). The commentator साधारणदेव says : सेवा शिवं करोतु सेवकानां न माशानां निरीहाणाम् । रालय —a kind of edible food grain, Marathi राळा.

as if he has been honoured. He regards the opportunity to fight and strike at the enemy as a great honour done to him. as if he is a newly employed servant, who is only too eager to give striking evidence of his loyalty to his master by doing daring deeds on the battle-field.
166 ) कप्परिअ = दारित pierced or gored. PLM 573 and DNM II. 20 record this word in the sense of दारित or दलित.
