Extract

Some three years ago, I published a note on the above mentioned subject. Since then, I have been able to collect such additional material as to afford conclusive proof of what at first could only be advanced as a hypothesis. In laying my conclusions before the readers of this Journal, I may be excused for first summarizing the contents of my previous paper, which appeared in a publication and in a language accessible only to a limited number of students.

page 540 note 2 Read Sītā-nigraha-rūpiṇā.

page 543 note 1 The second member of the compound I have left untranslated, as its sense is uncertain. The literal meaning of bālagga (Skr. vālāgra) is hair-point.

page 545 note 1 In the same manner I believe that, when the Śakāra addresses the Vidūṣaka as kākapadamaśtaśīśaka, the expression which he intended to use was kākapakkhamśta. It would be the same as if in German one spoke of ‘ Krähenkopf’ instead of ‘ Krauskopf.’

page 551 note 1 ‘ Māgadhism’ is perhaps an anachronism. What I mean is that the form *pratorī would have been ‘ lautgesetzlich,’ and pratolī due to ‘ Dialectmischung.’
