y
other instances will occur to the classical reader. In Malati and
Madhava, the forlorn lover in turn addresses different objects of
nature, the clouds, the birds, and the elephants, to inform him whether
they have seen his lost mistress. ACT ix. See, however, Mr. WILSON's
note, who seems to think that he addresses the sylvan deities.]

[Footnote 91: p. 42. l. 8. _--Manibhadra, guard us well_. Manibhadra, the
tutelar deity of travellers and merchants: probably a name of Kuvera,
the god of wealth.]

[Footnote 92: p. 42. l. 11. _To the realm of Chedi's sovereign_. Chedi is the
name of the country now called Chandail. The country is perpetually
named in the marriage of Roukmini, extracted from the Harivansa by
Mons. LANGLOIS, Monumens de l'Inde, p. 96.]

[Footnote 93: p. 43. Compare the Raghuvansa, ch. v. 43 to 49.]

--_lo, a herd of elephants,
Oozing moisture from their temples_--

Where the wild elephant delights to shed
The juice exuding fragrant from his head

WILSON's Cloud-Messenger, p. 127, and note.]

[Footnote 95: p. 44. l. 7. _--the three worlds seemed all appalled_. Swerga,
heaven, Martya or Bhumi, the earth, and Patala, hell.]

[Footnote 96: p. 44. l. 21. _And Vaisravana the holy_. Vaisravana is another
name of Kuvera, the god of wealth.]

[Footnote 97: p. 45. l. 13. _In some former life committed_. The soul, in its
transmigration, expiates the sins committed in a former state of
being. This necessary corollary from the doctrine of the
metempsychosis appear to have prevailed among the pharisaic Jews in
the time of our Saviour: "Master, who did sin, this man or his
parents, that he was born blind." JOHN, ix. 2.]

[Footnote 98: p. 46. l. 15. _--in their curious gamesome play_. Kutuhalat,
rendered by Bopp 'cum voluptate,' means, 'from curiosity.' WILSON.]

[Footnote 99: p. 47. l. 13. _I with but one robe, him naked_. Bopp's text is
incorrect here. Instead of 'Tam. ekavasanam,' the accusative
masculine, it should be 'Tam. ekavasana, I with one garment clad,' the
nominative feminine, referring to Damayanti, not to Nala: "I with one
garment following him naked and deprived of reason, like one crazed,
had not slept for many nights." WILSON.]

[Footnote 100: p. 47. l. 28. _That I eat not broken victuals_. Among the kinds
of food proscribed to a Brahmin are, "the food of a servile man and
the orts of another."]
