NOTES.

P. 9, 1. 10. –तन्त्रकारवचनम्, viz. that quoted; or supposed to be quoted,

by the minister in stanza 8. 'The Tantras do not usually teach

politics, but they enjoin practices and ceremonies connected

with the worship of Śakti. See Wilson's Essays on the Religion

of the Hindus, Vol. I., pp. 247-250. It is perhaps possible,

though by no means quite necessary, to understand तन्त्रकार in

the present passage generally in the sense of शास्त्रकार.

P. 10, 1. 10–-प्रभुः, predicated of सहायवानेव.

P. 10, 1. 14–व्यक्तिः. Cf. Raghuvaḿśa, I. 10

P. 10, 1. 15.त्वन्नीतिपादपस्य. 'The Nîti or intrigue here referred to

is the creating of a feud between the two teachers of music as

to their comparative merits, resulting in an actual exhibition of

their powers of teaching by a dramatic representation, which

gave the king an opportunity of seeing Mâlavikâ. Vidûshaka had

P. 11, 1. 12.–पुरुषाधिकारमिदं ज्योतिः, equivalent to एतंत्तुपुरुषाधिकारं ज्योतिः

= एष परुषः अधिकारः अधिकरणं स्थानं यस्य तत्. None of our MSS.

gives the apparently easier reading ‘पुरूषाकारं ज्योति: as found in

Tulberg's edition. On the contrary, cf the following, as read

by MS. G–‘महत् खलु पुरूषाधिकरणमिदं ज्योतिः’

P. 12, 1. 2–शिष्योपदेशकाले, ‘at this time of the day, when you ought

to be teaching your respective pupils.'

P. I2, 1. 3-तीर्थात् , ‘गुरोः‘from my preceptor:' तीर्थ is another name

for “guru,' because he is 'one to whom honour is due'. It is

not, I think, a proper name here, as Prof. Weber supposes.

P. 12, 1, 4–दत्तप्रयोगोस्मि ,' I have given lessons in the art of theatrical

representation,' i.e. I am an experienced teacher of the art .

प्रयोग has here the same sense as क्रिया in Act I., stanza I2.

P. 12, 1. 6.-सोहम्, ‘That I' i.e, and yet I, & c.
