: 468) HTS = Adana. This is the reading adopted by Laber following the Mss. It would, however, be better to read here (= 4 ), following the commentator, the final 1 ( *) being added स्वार्थे (pleonastically). सक्तणाइ (सतीस्वादि) would mean 'chastity and other virtues'. It is not clear, however, what other virtues are intended by 31. MARE = gepaste yogafstea, special greatness or virtuousness of a man.
