170 Read: sammā, as elsewhere.<br />
171 This line has 9 syllables, with no easy way to correct the metre, unless we follow the Pāḷi and<br />
write sannipātāṁ.<br />
172 Cone indicates that this word may also be read: ññāyyā<br />
173 -ā- is m.c. to give the pathyā cadence.<br />
174 The reading here confirms that mahāpuriso in the Pāḷi is an addition to the text. It has probably<br />
come in from the commentary on the verse.
