l. 7. All the signs of Hemanta are here said to continue even
in S'is'ira, as 'these two are not generally considered as separate

as continued even in the spring.
ll. 17–18. Construe:—श्रवणकटु रटत् नवमधुपटलीलम्पटं षट्पदानां चकं कर्पटेन

But the reading found here seems to be better than that of
the Bālarāmāyaṇa.
l. 9. एवमुदाहरणान्तराणि ।

different countries and the costume and manners of ladies inhabit-
ing them, a reference may be made to the author's other works
such as the Bālarāmāyaṇa, Karpūramañjarī, Viddhasālabhañjikā
and Bālabhārata where he has exhibited his profound knowledge
of the subject, particularly, of the seasonal changes and the topo-
graphy of the different parts of India.
ll. 10–11. Here Rājaśekhara says that the commencement,
development and continuation of the different seasons are described
