page 804 note 1 , verse 16.

page 805 note 1 Or perhaps “body”. Aṅgena here may have a special sense.

page 805 note 2 Abjaka is also mentioned in chap. 128, verse 82.

page 807 note 1 The comparative expressions employed in verse 6 have a general reference, and therefore the last expression implies an allusion to some custom and may perhaps find an explanation in a custom common among the lower classes, which may be cited: This custom is widespread in India and may perhaps have belonged to the aborigines. Cf. perhaps verses 16 and 17.

page 808 note 1 Hariv. 96, 5333. A graha or demon, named Sumahākapi, is mentioned, id. 168, 9562.

page 808 note 2 See JRAS., 1910, pp. 6, 53.

page 809 note 1 Yāska's and Sāyaṇa's explanations of Vṛṣsākapi seem so fanciful that it may be doubted whether they were not meant to cloak the fable.
