547) The reading # novia adopted in the text is supported by the commentator. Laber reads 24 riffa (garrafa). Cf, st. 548, (asuta at fa). GTITTEI=STITTET: = STINAT: 1 Cf. greitigt in st. 550. It appears that the commentator had before him another reading. gertat difficult to climb or scale i.e. to prevail upon, to persuade, to win over. 7a noi, cf. st. 549 : 7 ara faalīzi.
548) Fift a = falù, vicarious use of the 487 for the HA.. Tagfey having large, conspicuous eyes (Parte or yazare). qaaft: also means हरिणाक्षि, पसय meaning a deer (मृगविशेष).

The pun on par wing may also be explained as follows: the छेकs become disaffected (विरजति = विरज्यन्ते), when they see the faults (in the object of their love), just as the rays of the sun become red (विरज्जंति= विशेषेण रज्यन्ते), when they see the night approaching.

Bagefara fa = 37909faatan sfa, since they have not received any instruction in culture, in as much as they are impervious to, ignorant of, untutored in, culture.
