It is also possible to regard अचलगहिओ as a सप्तमीतत्पुरुष compound (aufgen aufg). Cf. Haag in st. 325. The exact sense of the second half of the stanza is obscure. Cf. Hala 142: KEGTIEपरिवड्ढिआण काळेण रूढपेम्माण । मिहुणाण मरइ जं तं खु जिअइ इअरं मुअं होइ ॥

371) This and the next stanza are of the nature of s (enigmas or conundrums), in which the intended sense is conveyed in a round-about, indirect manner.

373) गयवर stands for गयवइयाए, a case of लुप्तविभकिकनिर्देश (Deinflection). We cannot think of a compound (a) of the subject, with the past participle passive form f (according to Panini's sūtra 11.1.32), as the subject would in that case be completely subordinated in the compound and would be overshadowed by the predicate भणियं. पसारेवि = प्रसार्य, is an Apabhramsa trait.
