should have stood by itself, as ‘ na muktā ’,—as it is in the
verse ‘ navajaladharaḥ........na dṛptanishācharaḥ, ...........
suradhanūridam...na tasya sharāsanam, ... ayamapi...... dhārā-
sāro na bāṇaparamparā,........vidyut priyā na mamorvashī’—
‘ This is the fresh dense cloud, not a vainglorious demon ;
