It should have been BPAT ATufa4.3nti = BERGE, immune from poverty. Cf. At in st. 146, 461 and 560. gefahfe = 35azilsai, turbulent, restless, flashing. According to the commentator the stanza is an elit intended for a person, who though possessed of immense wealth, does not do anything by way of helping the poor and the needy and giving relief to them in their sufferings. 562) रयणायर ति नामं, the name or appellation रत्नाकर (repository of gems), per a Eftet fh, why were you not dried up (long ago)? gla3 = 345i, past participle active from ved to be dried up.
