This does not seem right. Bu(j< it may be a question as to whether we are to take 1 ardrasya pare’ as' a poetical repetition of ‘sa- yrxudrasya dh&nvan’ or to construe ‘ saifudrasya ardrasya dhanvat* pare/ Thd former .seems preferable. ■■ V;.:. : So SafcApadbhih.

Aradatam. Sayana does not explain how the root * rad/ ‘ to scratch, engrave, dig out a channel, can mean 'to give/ For the primary meaning of the root Roth cites i, 166, 6 “yafcra vo didyihl radati/ J Sayana “didyut hetih radati likhati mehgasarhstyayam/’ From this meaning Roth deduces a secondary meaning ‘ to open up, trace out, open (a path)/ He cites ii, 30, 2, “ pathd radantlh/’ Sayana, pathah margan radantlh vilihhantyah (dhunayah nadyah). Also v, 80, 3 ; vii, 87, 1; vli, 60, 4 ; and viti, 47, 4. This leads to a third meaning, * to lead something into a, certain path/ He cites x, 89,7“aradan n 6. sindhun/' Sayana, “sindhim nadlharadat vnshtkyud- akenalikhat neti sampartyarthe/’ Also iii, 33, 6 and vii, 49,1* Next and last Roth puts the meaning he would assign to the root here, * to bring something to a person/ fie cites our passage. Also i, 117, 11yaja p vtpriiya bhurana rad'anta.” Sayana, “ vajam aonaip radantfi vilihkantau. nishpadayantau. Also i, 169, 8 ; vi, 61, 6 ; and i.x, 93, 4. 3. Karotarat. Occurs only here.

It is impossible to holdWith Sayanii that * n£ ’ is ‘ eharihe ’ here. It is equally impossible to believe that ‘ trishyaW’ is equal t@ ‘piplsatftli.’ Grassmann’a translation “ as if to give drink to thirsty people, the streams ran to Gotama tor thousand-fold wealth ” appears to have a very remote connection With the test. Ludwig translates “the waters flowed forth to rain riches a thousand-fold on him of Gotama’s people who thirsted (after riches)/’ I do uot think that * trisliyate gdta- HOT 158, irmsya’ can me an Ho him of Gotarna’s people that thirsted and I do not see what has become of the 4 nd’ in Ludwig’s translation, 1:1 ut, see his note, where ho amends this part ot his translation to “ the waters flowed forth as if to rain, &c ” It is possible that ‘ mi pftyanava niy<i sahasraya’ means Hob lor drinking but, or, so much as, for thousand-fold riches’ ( Bijapurkar ), but not, I think, probable.
