^{page 6 note 1} From a manuscript in the possession of Dr. P. Cordier, and kindly communicated to me by him.

^{page 11 note 1} One here expects a word for ‘lower limb’ (sakthi), and perhaps jānu may be a false reading; or the knee, being in the middle of the lower limb, is chosen. to represent the whole of it.

^{page 11 note 2} The sternum consists of three parts: manubrium, gladiolus, and ensiform process, of which the first part remains separate through life. Hence ‘to build up.’

^{page 12 note 1} Literally: saying “may it exert strength.” This brief reference to the arms implies that what has been said in verses 1–3 with reference to the lower limbs applies, mutatis mutandis, also to the upper limbs.

^{page 17 note 1} Bhāsadam is a gloss to explain bhaṂsaso.
