5 Metre: Anushṭubh.
6 Metre: Sragdharā.
7 Metre: Śārdūlavikrīḍita.
8 Metre of this and the following two verses: Anushṭubh.
9 The metre is defective here as the seventh syllable of the first pāda is not prosodially long as
required. वानस्पत्य- is probably a mistake for वा(बा)ईस्पत्य-.The pravaras of the Saṅkṛiti gōtra are usually
given as Āṅgirasa, Sāṅkṛitya and Gaurivīta. See Gōtrapravaranibandhakadamba, p. 44.
10 This verse is not numbered in the text.
11 This akshara is superfluous.
12 The text is very corrupt here. Perhaps विप्रे सततपरकारुण्यजनकः is meant.

15 Read शास्त्रार्थश्रुति-.
16 Read घर्म्मेकबुद्धिः.
