183) 373094ni Tang ani za: who is making his first run (Tam leap, gallop) when harnessed to the yoke of the cart for the first time in his life. As the bull was never before harnessed to the cart (because of the circumstances stated in the first half of the stanza) that was the first time in his life that he was yoked by his master. And when the loaded cart came to a standstill because of some trouble on the road, the eycellent (noble) bull felt very sad that he should not have been given any gradual training in pulling loaded carts before, and should have been yoked to a loaded cart for the first time ever in his life. The commentator, however, explains 37ae ni Ta: differently. 379ğu ag aft:, yoked to the cart along with a new, unbroken, untrained bull. VTT = vfer to feel sorry(HŚ VIII.4.132.)
184) Email = ain: ploughman, farmer, agriculturist, from F (a plough) plus ehi (Taddhita suffix in the sense of using that as a means for achieving his object, or as a means of earning his livelihood). Cf. Subhāşita : quia altretta yr yai ragaza i risaleणस्कन्धः सुखं स्वपिति गौगलिः ।।
185) 49316-neuter gender used for the masculine according to HŚ VIII.1.34. aast, see note on st. 180
186) agfash9 = ATESHEM (by gafaata of as and qf89177 of वियड). This is otherwise known as वप्रक्रीडा, butting or ramming against the mighty sides or slopes of a mountain with the head, butting sport. Cf. Ran 2, 24Fitslyfratsiusti (8) GIII
187) The metre in the first quarter is faulty. If we shorten ता and पा into a and h it will be quite regular. (सा रेवा तइ पणियाई ते चेव daftforam 1). = 1947 or een a kind of tree of which elephants are very fond. सलइ = शल्यायते, rankles. Cf. Marathi सलणे.
188) fg agnie a nič. This is Instrumental Absolute Construction, having the same sense as the Locative Absolute Con. truction. See Speijer, Sanskrit syntax p. 290.
189) Cf. Weber (1881), 820 : PERETE 70 TACHEFIUT REGAETU भद्दगइंदाणमहो महावणं अहव महाराओ | जुज्जए ठाणे = यत् किंचिदपि स्थान युक्तम् उचित Haal Any place will do or serve for their residence. Toate would have been better than tog.
