G. A. Grierson —The Song of Manih Chandra. 
APPENDIX. 
The following are the lines referred to in the note to verse 264. I 
give them as an example of the very peculiar nature of the dialect. It is 
difficult, and requires a very literal translation, which I give. 
The word for “ fresh butter” appears in two forms,— qfq and qqfq ; 
and it is worth noting how the latter has remained almost unchanged from 
the time of the Aitarega BraJimana .#

O the pipe of S'yam (Krishna). My mind whirls, my eyes continually 
run with tears. The mother said “ 0 Yadu, how art thou sleeping on the 
deep bed of flowers in the north ?” Hearing the mother’s voice, Yadu sat 
up ; he could not open his eyes, and began to rub them. Yadu goes to bathe ; 
Yasoda remains in the house, and divides out this rice-milk and fresh 
butter. 
After finishing his hath, he goes towards the house—his mother gives 
him a grand throne to sit upon j being pleased, Yadu eats the milk, and the 
fresh butter. 
After eating the milk and fresh butter, Yadu’s mind becomes satisfied ; 
and he washes his mouth with water in a grand golden pot.
