^{page 444 note 1} Irandhatī: is this a form of Arundhatī, one of the stars, and said to be the wife of the seven Rishis ?

^{page 445 note 1} The gāta of Irandhatī's song have been left out, except the first line, and only the Bur. translation given.

^{page 449 note 1} The ruby was not a red one, but a Veḷuriyam.

^{page 449 note 2} Dohaḷa, “longing for”; more especially applied to that of women in a certain condition.

^{page 450 note 1} The description of what may be seen in the ruby is too long to translate.

^{page 451 note 1} These words are not given in the Bur. Dictionary, but according to the text thé = 8, than = 6, einzé = 4, and nguzon = 2.

^{page 452 note 1} See Jātaka No. 62.

^{page 454 note 1} Antojāta, dhanakkita, sayamdāsupagata, karamarānita.

^{page 456 note 1} Kuñjara, “elephant.” Mayura, “peacock.” Piyaka, “a spotted deer.” But these names are also connected with certain plants.

^{page 457 note 1} I do not find this combination in Childers. According to the Burmese, saṅkhāra means “mutability,” but here it seems to indicate the stages of existence both in this life and the next.

^{page 457 note 2} This consists of 46 couplets, beginning—

1. Ethayyo rājayasatim | nisīditya sunātha me |

Yathā rājakulam patto | yasam poso nigacchati |

I am indebted to Mrs. M. Bode for her valuable assistance in translating these Pāli gāta.

^{page 461 note 1} That is to say, “he should not look at the king's face, but stand with averted eyes.”

^{page 461 note 2} The first line of 44 runs thus: “Kumbhaññhi pañjalim kayirā | cātañcāpi padakkhiṇaṁ.” The meaning is obscure, and the Burmese translation is: “On beholding pots full of water, kingfishers and other birds, though they can give no advantages, yet we salute them with raised hands.”

^{page 463 note 1} “Gaccheyya duggatim.” But Buddhists believe that they will be tortured by devils in hell.

^{page 465 note 1} See Childers, under “Kappo.”

^{page 466 note 1} Vidhūra either had the power of omniscience, or Puṇṇaka thought aloud.

^{page 475 note 1} Both Rūpa and Moggali are here called “Puṇṇēma,” the fem. form of “Puṇṇā," used by the Burmese to denote a Brahman. Stevenson has made no attempt in his dictionary to explain the word. The fem. is evidently Puṇṇī + ma, the Burmese fem. affix. The word is probably a very old one, and derived rather from Sanskrit than Pali.
