Dr. Bochtlingk proposes to interpret andhaára-dosam by andhakára-doshám, ‘dark night,' or 'the darkness of night,' but this seems hardly a legitimate compound, nor does the sense require it. 'Longing for their portions of the sacrifice.' Janna is the Prákrit equivalent for yajna by Var., iii., 44. Great sacrifices were performed by kings in celebration of auspicious events, especially after marriage, in the hope of securing issue, and Indra with the inferior gods were invited to partake of portions set apart for them. These sacrifices were accompanied by largesses to the Bráhmans, and festivities, in which the gods were supposed to be eager to participate. Compare Rámáyana I., xiii., 6, 8. The mother of Indra was Aditi, who was the wife of Kasyapa [see page 22, note 1]. It appears from Act 7 of the present play that Sakuntala was at this time enjoying an asylum with the illustrious pair Kasyapa and Aditi in some sacred retreat, where they were engaged in acts of mortification and penance. 3 'Therefore it is proper to wait for this period.' This is the reading of Kátavema. Some of the Devanagari have tá na juttam kálam, etc., for tasmán na yuktam kálam, etc. |
