178 NOTES ON second moon for the purpose of shedding light (on च०s way ) and that (umbrella) was of the brilliance of Hansas. हंसस्य इव धाम (कान्तिः) यस्य गृहदेहत्विदप्रभाव धामान्यथ चतुष्पथे' इत्यमरः. The umbrella was white like a हंस and being carried in front is spoken of as a second moon may also mean for the purpose that men may be enabled to aee चन्द्रापीड. यथादर्शन•••सहत्रैः who was saluted by thousands of princes though on horse-back on all sides in the order in which they saw him. प्रसुप्त..सधारः who moved with dificulty in the royal road on account of the large number of cavalry, albhough it { royal road) was not crowded because the citizens were at the time asleep. We know from समधिकमिव यामद्वयं स्थित्वा &c. (p. 29.1. 13) that च० started some time after midnight. प्रसुप्तः पुरजनः यस्मिन् तस्य भावः तया कृच्छेण लब्धः सधारः येन निर्गत्य-..गन्तुम्-—the principal sentence is निर्गत्य च अदूरत -उत्तीर्य सिप्राम्...दशपुरगामिना मार्गेण प्रावर्तत गन्तुम्. Hehaving gone out of the city and having crossed the river Sipre not far from it, began to proceed by the way that led to दशपुर, निर्भर अच्छपानीयाम् on account of the excess of the food of moonlight and its purity (अच्छता ), the waters of which were difficult to distinguish. दुर्विभाव्यं पानीयं यस्याः The clear water of the सिप्रा could not be distinguished from the” clear moonlight. उपरि संनिधिम् the fact of the fying up of frightened swarms of swans over which (सिप्रा ) was to be inferred by their sweet (कल ) notes ( कूजित ), that (सिप्रा ) looked as if it were a sandy plain, the proximity of the waters of which (सिप्रा ) was indicated only by the contact of heavy (heavily ladem with spray) breezes from the ripples (of सिप्रा ). कलकूजितेन अनुमीयमानः उस्रस्तहंससाथiत्पतनस्य व्यतिकरः (सम्बन्धः) यस्याः उपरि means over (the waters of the Br ). The हंसऽ being white could not be distinctly marked in the food of moonlight and their existence was only inferred from their notes. The हंसऽ were frightened by the marching army. पुलिनमिव आचरति पुलिनायते The bed of the river, when lbeing crossed by च०'s army. presented the appearance of a sandy plain. जडतरः तरङ्गभ्यः अनिलः तस्य स्पर्शमात्रेण उपलक्ष्यः सलिलस्य संनिधि यस्याः. अति.त्साहम् that (way) as if increased his ardiour for going by the fact of its being sumooth (lit. extremely trodden ) and not crowded. As to दशपुर see above (notes p. 162).
