Notes .—'The word %*TT, at the end of every verse except verse 2, and 
the word «n at the end of verse 2, are a sort of chorus without sense. 
[It is really two words, viz., the interjection %[, and *IT which occurred in 
the last song. It should be noted that except in v. 3, *ri does not form 
any portion of the metre. Nor, I fancy, should it in verse 3, in which a 
word seems to have been dropped out. I would conjecturally amend the 
latter half to +RT ^ II %T »TT II Similarly, I should 
read for the second verse (second half) fafiR II 
%T »TT ll—G. A. G.] 
I cannot find in the dictionary, it is equivalent to 
would he the long form of or ^T^t, but no dictionary 
with which I am acquainted gives this meaning to either of these words. 
—G. A. G.] 
I am not quite sure of the meaning of ^T^T, which I cannot find, 
but think it means Sweet-heart. [In JBihari and 'V are interchange¬ 
able. 3ff+T therefore equals 3TT^T, the strong form of ^T 1 ^, Krishn, also 
called Nand Lai, who forms the subject of the poem.—G. A. G.J
