129 It seems to me that dukkhā in Patna here gives a better meaning than verā in the Pāḷi: whoever
is closely associated with hatred is not freed from suffering (rather than: ...from hatred, which is
tautological).
130 We need to read the simplex -chijjati here to correct the metre.
131 Cone indicates that this word may also be read: -chitassa. The avagraha is intrusive, read:
uddhukitassa
132 There are no parallels to the last three verses in this chapter in any of the other rescensions and
one suspects that they are late additions to the collection. When we see the corrections that have
to made to the metre it is clear that they were originally Prākṛt verses that have been rather
clumsily Sanskritised.
133 We have to read as the simplex gahapatayo to correct the metre.
134 This line has resolution twice, at the beginning of the two words -phaṭika- and -rajata-; note
that resolution in the cadence of the mātrācchandas verses is very rare indeed.
135 The opening of this line is syncopated.
