CRITICAL NOTES. 9
CHAPTER III

1. I. अस्मिन् for second यस्मिन् ।
2. J. प्रोक्तादथ ।
3. I. J. याज्यं for यानं ।
4. (1) I. J. धरात् for धरा; the error seems to be due to a slip of
   pen of the copyists. (2) J. जातोनि, A. जादीनि. I. जातिहि, the emenda-
   tion suggested by the other Mss. seems doubtless.
5. J. वस्तुनि for वास्तूनि ।
   By some extraordinary and most annoying confusion, which will
   be seen repeated several times in the text, I. J. read, between lines 6
   and 7, first, the lines 15-17 and then lines 30—31. The adjustment is
   unavoidably necessary, and fortunately it is warranted by the undoubted
   link of sense, and its correctness is guaranteed by the other Mss.
6. A. प्रभां for प्रपां ।
7. (1) I. अधिकस्य कथं शिल्पि शिल्पिका चारितं तथा ।
   J. अधिक-स्यन्दनं शिल्पौ शिबिकाचार्यं तथा ।
   Neither of these readings bears any sense. The emendation is
   suggested by the other Mss. and is supported by the contents of the
   43rd chapter, which deals with the conveyance.
   (2) शिल्पि is apparently for शिल्पिन (vocative).
8. J. सर्वै; सर्वे would certainly give a better meaning.
9. (1) I. च ममबली for मञ्चली ।
   (2) A. साल, B. फाल for फलक ।
10. (1) A. त्वयिकारंड राशिभिः ।
    (2) धरादिभिः is apparently an adjective to चतुर्विधम् and should
    be in the nominative singular; as it is, it bears no sense.
11. (1) B. चादित् सा ज्ञायते ।
    From the contents of the first line the expression would appear as
    चादित्यस्य for चादित्यानां । * (2) I. J. read महि (without a case-ending).
