CRITICAL NOTES : CHAPTER II 7
42. J. षड्भिर्मिलितनानं तत् विला, B. D. तापश्चाकलशाय, A. F. चांगुलं तत् ।
43. J. B. D. बोध्य; I. रक्ष or रक्षा in this line, and रिष्ट in the
following line; Suprabhedāgama (XXX. 3) reads रिक्षा; Vāstuvidyā (I. 5)
has लिक्षा (long) ; so also the Matsya-Purāṇa (258, 18) and the Sid-
dhānta-śiromaṇi (p. 52): but the Bṛihat-Saṁhitā (58, 12) has लिक्ष
(short). But from the reading रिष्टै for लिक्षै, the Mānasāra seems to
have used the short form लिक्ष; the gender of the word remains uncertain
from these uses. In dictionaries it is used in the feminine gender.
44. J. रिष्टै । For parallel passages, see notes under Translation and
the writer's Dictionary under Aṅgula.
47. A. F. यव बोहि; B. D. omit this line.
J. reads lines 42—45 between lines 47 and 48.
48. J. कनिया; कनिष्ठ must be read in the neuter singular or be com-
pounded with the following words; latter being preferable.
50. (1) I. वितस्तियुक्तं, which would not give the usual meaning;
the emendation युग्मं is suggested by J. and other Mss.
(2) अधिकम् for पथिकः is another instance of errors committed
by ignorant artists attempting to write Sanskrit. स्मृतम् in the next line
also illustrates the point.
51. हस्त is made masculine in this line, and neuter in the-
next (52).
52. I. गृहम्; the emendation ग्रहः is supported by other Mss. as
well as the Suprabhedāgama : cf. षड्विंशतिधनुर्मुष्टिः सप्तविंशत् धनु(र्)ग्रहः ।
(For context and reference see the writer's Dictionary under Aṅgula).
53. I. J. रज्जुमेय च कथ्यते for दण्ड।ष्टंरज्जुमेयच suggested by the
other Mss.
Between the lines 53 and 54, all the Mss., except I. and J., include
the line घरमान वितस्तेन मानयेच्छिल्पिवित्तमः; A. घर, B. D. रथ । But the sense
of this line seems to be expressed by the line 55; besides span would be
too small a measure for houses.
54. In याने and शयने the locative is used either for genitive as in
विमानस्य in the next line, or more properly in place of accusative.
