[Footnote 99: p. 47. l. 13. _I with but one robe, him naked_. Bopp's text is incorrect here. Instead of 'Tam. ekavasanam,' the accusative masculine, it should be 'Tam. ekavasaná, I with one garment clad,' the nominative feminine, referring to Damayanti, not to Nala: "I with one garment following him naked and deprived of reason, like one crazed, had not slept for many nights." WILSON.] [Footnote 100: p. 47. l. 28. _That I eat not broken victuals_. Among the kinds of food proscribed to a Brahmin are, "the food of a servile man and the orts of another."] [Footnote 101: p. 47. l. 28. _--wash not feet with menial hand_. The Latin translation, 'ne faciam pedibus cursum,' is faulty: the sense is, "that I perform not washing of the feet." Damayanti means that she is not to perform menial offices appropriated to persons of low caste. Stipulating for a carriage would be rather extraordinary. WILSON.] [Footnote 102: p. 49. l. 9. _Nárada, the famous hermit_. One of the Devarshis, and a great prophet, who is supposed to be still wandering about the world. 'Nara' signifies a thread or clew, a precept, and 'da,' giver. Whenever he appears he is constantly employed in giving good counsel. WILKINS, note on Bhagavat-Gita.] [Footnote 103: p. 49. l. 23. _Ere the tenth step he had counted--him the sudden serpent bit_. 'Dasa' means both 'bite' and 'ten.'] [Footnote 104: p. 50. l. 12. _Neither Brahmin fear, nor Sages_. In Indian poetry four classes of holy men, or Rishis, are distinguished, and rise, one above the other, in the following rank: Rajarshis, royal Rishis; Maharshis, great Rishis; Brahmarshis, Brahminical Rishis; and Dewarshis, divine Rishis. KOSEGARTEN. Another enumeration specifies seven grades. WILSON, in voce.] [Footnote 105: p. 50. l. 26. _Saying thus, of vests celestial--gave he to the king a pair_. The dress of a Hindu consists of two pieces of cloth, one, the lower garment fastened round his waist, and one the upper garment thrown loosely and gracefully over the shoulders. WILSON.] [Footnote 106: p. 51. l. 6. _In the art of dressing viands_. This, it will be remembered, was one of the gifts bestowed by the gods on Nala at his marriage.] [Footnote 107: p. 51. l. 12. _--hundred hundreds is thy pay_. Suvarnas, a certain measure of gold. WILSON, Dict. in voce.] [Footnote 108: p. 52. l. 2. There is in the text a second line, repeating the same sentiment. Bopp proposes to reject the first, I have omitted the second.] [Footnote 109: p. 53. l. 7. _And a royal grant for maintenance_. See Bopp's note. I have adopted the second sense of the word Agrahārah. Such grants were not uncommon in India, as throughout the east. See the grants on copper-plates found near Bombay, Asiatic Researches, i. 362. So the well-known gifts of the king of Persia to Themistocles.] [Footnote 110: p. 53. l. 15. _--on a royal holiday_. A day proclaimed as fortunate by the king.]
