Yaska’s note here is “ paritakmya ratrih parita enarn takma takmetyushnanama takata iti satah.” Both cites several places in which the word, in his opinion, does mean ‘night, darkness’ 35 imtSTq^ NOTES.

But the meaning is probably the same as that of f drisika/ appearance, aspect, which occurs in several passages and in some compounds. Sayana refers it to the glance of India’s eye, and understands the Panis to suggest that that glance must have protected Sarama throughout her dangerous journey. 3.

This is another word which occurs only here. Its meaning is quite uncertain* 3. :£ Adhrisbtah, Impassable. Roth compares for this meaning of the word vi, 62, 2 ; v, 87, 2 ( “ adhristaso nadrayah” Sayana 8 NOTES, “ adhrishtlsah adhatfshaniyah tatra drishfc&ntah adrayo na te 'yatba- driahgas tadvad yuyam api) ; and vii, 3, 8, 4.

Hence the meaning he ascribes to this difficult word. I he adjective ‘ ddribudhnah’ shows that ‘ nidhi ’ refers to the place of confinement. But it is not easy to say what * nyrislitafi * means. It occurs again in iv, 18, 5, ‘* guhalcar indram mala vlryewi nyrishtam.” Sayana, “nyrishtam nitaram pnvptam.” The finite verb occurs ini, 52, 7, “ hradiim ni hi tva nyrishanty urmayo brdhmanindra tava yani virdhana.” Sayana, “ tva tvam nyrishanti MIN isr^ NOTRS* 279 hi ni taram priipnovnnfcjy&va.” In all three places Roth understands the verb in the sense of ‘ to press down, conceal, cover.’ 2, Rf'ku. This word occurs only here and in iv, 5, 12, “r<:kti padamnd nidEna aganma. ,> Sayana, <6 reku riktam/ } This is the meaning of the word here also.’ 3. Alakam. This word occurs only here and in x, 71, 0, “yad im srindty alakam snooti.” Sayana, “ rm ayain purusho yad veda- vyatiriktaip srinoti tad alakam alikarn vyartham eva srinoti. Verse 8.

Ayasyah. In x, 67, 1, * l ayasya ukrMrn indraya sAnsan/' Sayan a explains this word as he does here, u ay&syo namarshilj.* * In viii* 62, 2, where it is an epithet of Indr a, his note is “ayasyah up&kshapavitum asakyah.” In x, 138, 4, “ nidhmr adevan amrinad ayasyah^ he hesitates between the two explanations. His note is “ ayasyah ayasamyas chalayitum asakyahi yadva ayasyah angirah/ 3, Athaitdd vachah, etc, Roth follows Say ana and translates u you will spit out, repent of, these words of yours. *’ Ludwig rejects this interpretation, for the bad reason that “there is no sense in speaking of the Panis repenting.” He breaks the dialogue and translates “then the Panis broke out into the following words” 1 or (in his notes) “then the Panis threw the following words at her.” The clause is intended, he suggests, to pave the way for the overture of friendship made to Sarama in the next verse. This seems certainly wrong. Verse 9, Padapatha: j ? I sr*r i f jrr i a*rs;f ink j ^s5riT%rr I ^rr I l I *wr l l ut I 54*. V uji I srf! % | jrcrnr 1 Ksvfrr I w 11 Sayana: srfa T°m-.
