101 I count pr- as not making position here in line with its normal weight.
102 This line has the caesura after the 6th (this occurs quite rarely, but many times the word break
occurs after lokasmiṁ as here). We could read lokahmi, as in Patna, which would avoid the
problematic syllable. We can note here that Patna never shows the -assiṁ (-asmiṁ) form in the
locative endings.
103 Cone excludes khi, a repetition akṣara here.
104 This is the extended form of the metre, pausing at the 5th and restarting again from the same
syllable.
