42. Some observations on the historical purport of this and the next verse will be subjoined 

 to the text. 



43. The construction of this passage might warrant the use of Jatadhara as the epithet of 

 Hayagriva, the wearer of the J<z<a, or matted hair, denoting a follower of Siva, particularly as 

 Hayagriva is said to be a Bhairava one of Siva's attendants : but the comment calls Jatadhara 

 a Lokeswara : according to Mr. Hodgson, also, Hayagriva and Jatadhara are two of the menial 

 attendants of Abjapani or Padmapani, one of the Dhydni Buddhas ; others are named Sudhanay 

 Kumdra, Ajita, Aparajita, Marsainya, Varada, Akdlamrityu, Jaya, Vijaya, Abhayaprada, and 

 Dhanada, most of which names are well known to the Hindus as those of the attendants on Siva 

 and Pdrvati.
