NOTES, 16L नश्यति । अदत्वा स्वफलं लक्ष्यमुद्दिश्योत्सृष्टबाणवत्’ ” ॥ Read the Bhasya on Brahmasutras 4, 1. 13-19, Sanksepaasari rak iv. 45, and Brih. vartika P. 737. Page 54. With the quotation from Updesasahasri, com. pare that from Yogavasistha on page 134. Page 55. ‘बुद्धाद्वैतसतत्वस्य &e * The rendering of the third line here quoted has always been a difficulty, in as much as it has generally been supposed to be connected with the couplet preceding it, I traced it, however, in 1893, to the Updesasahasri, (12. 13) where it forms the 2nd line of the verse.

The first translator was Dr.Ballantyme, who rendered the third line thus. -"[ Well, the difference consists in ] the knowledge of God. So, such a one [ as knows God—and not the dog, who knows nothing of the truth-] being liberated, is, and no one else is, the knower of Soul. ” This is, of course, entirely wrong – to say nothing of the misrendering of Brahma by God. D. Bohtlingk's [in 1877] was very similar, namely
