735) jfar = ghia, height, tall stature. Polyur peculiar quality or property of the soil. = 56, the 34tart on being metri causa. फलाण रिद्धी, abundance of fruit. होसई = भविष्यति [an Apabhramsa trait (cf. st. 54, 275, 331, 639 etc.)], will result or will be determined. ETTUATOT, according to the nature of the seed. The statement made here, that the height of the Vața tree is the result of the peculiar property of the soil, but that the abundance of fruit is due to the peculiar property of the seed, is not a correct statement. Both the height and the abundance of fruit depend partly on the favourable nature of the soil and partly on the nature of the seed. Both the soil and the seed should be jointly responsible for the stature of the tree and abundance of its fruit. They cannot be separated as done in this stanza.
736) jirani loftiness, tallness, soaring height. 79015 taso मग्गेग = अद्धरुद्धगयणमग्गेग (by transposition of अद्धरुद्ध and गयण), which half (i.e. almost) blocks the expanse (space) of the sky. 7 39 = 7 gacafe = 39JYÀ, you are not resorted to, sought or appro EFFsuara =419759aifaa, heated, scorched, or tormented by hunger and the fierce heat of the sun. y£700, the final vowel 3 of the first member of the compound has been shortened metri causa.

737) निरासयस्त -निराश्रयस्य, not affording shelter to anybody (as it is devoid of shade). दूर यरदावियफलस्स = दूरतरदर्शितफलस्य, which exhibits (i.e. bears) fruit at a height far beyond the reach of men. vala is mentioned as a talas for the Sanskrit root eni (casual), at HŚ.VIII.4.32.Cf.Marathi 190 (used in rural areas by uneducated people). ETT fit fa ftat your wonderful height. alafe HAT, is matched by your faults i.e. it is as immense as your faults.
738) वुड्ढें नीओ, was reared, brought up. सयसलिलदाणसेवाए, by means of watering service rendered a hundred times, i.e. countless times. 84 = fa. #4 can also be understood in the sense of 1997, "watering service rendered by them with their own hands”.
