page 401 note 3 This may be understood in three ways—tat sthiram asti, or tat sthirayati (which are equivalent), or tat-stho ramati.

page 401 note 4 Read citrito 'yaṁ; but this should be neuter.

page 401 note 5 Read sattvāḥ.

page 401 note 6 Pāṇḍya (if this be the word) may be an abstract noun from pāṇḍu, “creamy whiteness” (which is the ground-colour of the painting); but pāṇḍu also means two plants.

page 401 note 7 Śubhi may = śubha, which means “gorocanā (yellow)”, and also the “plant priyaṅgu”.

page 406 note 1 In his Appendix to the Catalogue of Sanskrit MSS. in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, 1909, p. 28, No. 217, Mr. Keith asserts the same by saying: “the style and manner [of the Ṛtusaṁhāra] are entirely those of Kālidāsa.”

page 409 note 1 The word kavi does not correspond to the English “poet”. The authors of the Mahābhārata or of the Vedic hymns cannot be called kavis, nor are their works kāvyas.
