Critical notes . 
1. 2. Kinhesi, so apparently lb, wliicli seems to vocalize the final ^ *. The 
word may, however, be also read klnhisa for klnhesa. The other copies in the 
Persian character simply have which may be read either kinhesi , klnhasi , or 
kinhasa. Is and K have klnhegi for kinhesi. U has kinhasa. Throughout the poem 
a short e is inserted to form the past tense. Thus, dekhasi, he sees, dekhesi, he saw. 
Ia tinhahi prlti kabildsii, Ibc parabata kabildsu, Id parabata kaildsu , Is tehi prlti ka 
bilasii, U tihi parabata ka bilasii. In the Persian character c2aJj.j and oj^j and 
and are easily confused. In each case it is a question of a dot. There 
can be no doubt about the form kabildsu for kaildsu being right. The word is of fre- 
quent occurrence in the poem, and is invariably spelt thus in the best MSS. It is a 
curious corruption, and has puzzled all copyists with Sanskrit predilections. 3. 
Ib has pawana agini, K agni pauna, Is bahutai , UK bahute, P give no clue. 4. Is 
awatdrii . 
6. I a kinhesi sap at a d/pa brahamandd 
lb „ „ logo, „ 
Ic „ sdta saraga „ 
Id „ (illegible)? seta peta mahi bhandd 
Is kinhesi sata sata brahamandd (sic) 
U kinhasa sdta saraga „ 
K kinhesi „ dlpa „ 
Two printed editions follow Ia, except having mahl instead of d/pa. Ia is 
adopted as making the best sense. 6. Ib duniara , U dinakara, K dunia. Printed 
editions dinesa. 7. Is kinhesi slta ghdma. 8. Id klnhasi saba asa. las dusarahi, 
U dusaralm. 9. Ia td kara nau, K Icaratd kai nau lei , Ia kathd kahau , Id 8^jf, Is 
arigdhu, printed editions and K uragahu.
