224 Reading ṭṭh- as not making position to give the normal opening.
225 -ī- is m.c. to give the normal opening.
226 -ī here and in ratī in the next line are m.c. to give the normal cadence.
227 This line has 9 syllables, we could read doggatiṁ yānt’ asaṁyyatā to correct the metre.
228 We should read this as viśśāsa’ māpādi, with anusvāra lost m.c. cf. 272c.
229 I can find no parallel to the first 3 lines of this verse in the Pāḷi texts.
