fa as the gives battle (or fights) standing firm in his position. The commentator paraphrases this by तिष्ठपि युद्धं ददाति, where तिष्ठत् appears to be used adverbially, qualifying the sense of a FG3. If we connect sa as adjective with lon, the sense would be : "he gives (or puts up) standing opposition (i e. steady, unrelenting opposition) (to his enemies)". If we emend and read ört instead of ठंतं, ठंतो would be an adjective qualifying धीरो. MS.Greads तिट्ट पि (= तिष्ठन्नपि'. The propriety of the use of पि (अपि) after ठंतं is not clear. ja is present participle active, from V8 = . JI>gia > ja according to HS. VIII.1 84 (6:41).
683) We must read जणंति (= जनयन्ति) instead of Laber's जिणंति, as is clear from the commentator's paraphrase जनयन्ति. सामाइणो

Met Ft Feza fg4 (1) although the arrow remains just where it is in the quiver, i.e. although the arrow is not discharged from the bow; (2) although the power of inflicting physical suffering (me) remains just where it is, i.e. is not brought into actual operation. 3117 BUS AT, the (mere) twang of the bow-string is able to kill (frighten), down to the root (i.e. completely). Laber reads 30 est, which does not make any sense. We must read आमूलं. टंकार = टङ्कार or JUFR = 5417twanging sound produced by a bow-string.
