753) feracefieft caufe, even with the thickly stuffed or densely packed jewels, i.eu, even with its teeming gems. The Instrumental case is used here in the sense of 34a. A t = halal , delirious (beside itself) with arrogance. For Raza ( = false), cf. farge. in st. 109. The stanza alludes to the belief about the existence of pearls in the heads of elephants, though it is said here to be doubtful (ETIGHET).
754) e surrendering, dispensing. (20118 a nila, the gems never run out of stock, i.e., are inexhaustible, there is at no time a shortage of gems. We should read सायरस्स in place of सायरे वि, so as to agree with hea. Moreover at after FTP is unjustifiable, as already fat has occurred after h. Further with the reading arn, anh remains unconnected. fast=144. app is changed to
,, or in Prakrit. See HS. VIII.2.4. We thus get there forms for sited, viz. festa, fent and fast. Cf. note on st. 546.
755) grgh = 78294, emptiness, depletion, exhaustion, loss of greatness. Cf. *ffat in st. 750 and fill in st. 735.

And for that he gives the reason as follows: 34 974: प्रायेणापभ्रंशभाषानुसारी । अत्र च अपभ्रंशभाषायां क्वचिनपुंसकेऽपि पुंस्त्वमिति । It is true that in Apabhramóa the genders as current in Sanskrit are not strictly adhered to. See HŚ. VIII.4.445 : 77. But that is equally true in Māhārāsţri and other Prakrits. See HS. VIII.1.31 -35. Moreover the form 14011 need not be regarded as a mascu. line form. It is a neuter form and can be traced to the Vedic Nominative and Accusative plural forms of neuter words, such as per 291 = faqità, 921 alfa, cf. Tofa, VI.1.70 : 583afè a
756) 27=417, cast off. HS.VIII.4.46 records 74 as a rare for the root 7 and says in the gfa that 74 is a nater for the root 05 also. We get from va4 forms like 9537, 755, 76, 77m, a
