The Hindi poem, the Chaurasi Pada, is much more popular and most 
of the Gosains know at least some of its stanzas by heart. There is a com¬ 
mentary upon it by Lok-nath, dated sambat 1855, and another in verse, 
called the Paliasya artha-nirujpana by Rasik Lai, written in sambat 1734. 
Neither of the two, however, is of much assistance to the student; all the 
simple passages being paraphrased with wearisome prolixity, while real 
difficulties are generally skipped. I subjoin the text and a translation of 
the first 12 stanzas.
