Charpentier, Uttaradhyayanasutram
the head has been turned round, so that the face is at the back,
whilst the explanation of D. ’bowed down towards the back’ is
less satisfactory. But °sa° seems hopelessly corrupt, although I
scarcely doubt that p. pitthito = prsthatah ’backwards’ is the correct
reading. The following pasariya, of course, cannot be one member
of a compound expression as D. declares it to be; it is clearly a
gerund pr as ary a, and this yields us perhaps a possibility of under-
standing the verse; avahedhiya or, as I should prefer to read,
avedhiya would then also be a gerund civestya, and the whole
would run in Sanscrit: avestya prsthata uttamdngdni prasarya bahun
akarmacestcln or, in AMg., avedhiya pitthio (?) uttamamge pasariya
b. a. But this is only a hypothesis which I dare not introduce
into the text, as it has neither the support of D. nor of any
single Ms. I am unable to find out what is the meaning of avae-
dhiya, mentioned as a pdthcintara by S. The word nijjheriya0 is
explained as = prasdrita-, but no etymology is given; in ZDMG.
LXIII, 180 n. 3 I referred to He. IV, 20: kser nijjharo vci, but the
reading nijjhariya0 is false ; nijjheriya might possibly be = *nijjhdrya
— *nihksdrya ’having let flow out’, as jhar is well known as a prakrit
substitute for ksar- (He. IV, 173) — but this is wholly uncertain.
31. hiliyd is taken by D. as = hlditah, a pluralis majestatis;
but the original form may have been hiliyam. Cp. Jat. 497, g.
19d; Jat. 488, g. 20d.
32. S. mentions a varia lectio: puvvirn ca paccha ca taheva
majjhe. Cp. Jat. 497, g. i8b: manopadoso mama n’atthi koci.
33. Cp. Jat. 497, g. i7b-c (19°).
36. This verse in Arya-metre is certainly an interpolation;
the rain of flowers, the showers of wealth, and the drums of the
gods are typical incidents in the legends.
37. S. reads: sovdgaputto Hariesasahu which is better.
38. I have written suittham — svistam on account of sujattham
in v. 40, although D. and the Mss. have sudittham — a slip that
might easily occur.
