The latter vocabulary has been composed by 颁丑补办谤补辫腻峁噄诲补迟迟补 with a view of being a supplement to the Amarak.; it does not contain as much matter as this vocabulary nor does it follow throughout its order; but in certain portions it has the same order and it gives always literally the text of the Amarak., whereever additional synonymes have been intended by the author, these synonymes being either immediately annexed by him to the words of the Amarak. in a subsequent verse or pointed out through the repetition of the word to be enlarged upon, which then is put in the locative. The end of the enumeration is marked by the repetition of the word synonymized, between two full stops. Thus the 艢loka of the Amarak. Ii. 4. 4. 8. which contains, up to 苍腻驳补惫补濒濒墨, synonymes of 鈥榩iper betel鈥�, and afterwards those of the perfume 谤别峁嘘办腻 (viz. t膩mb奴lavall墨 迟腻尘产奴濒墨 n膩gavallyapyatha dvij膩 . hare峁嚺� 谤别峁嘘办腻 kaunt墨 kapil膩 bhasmagandhin墨) runs thus in the Bodleian copy of the 艢补产诲补肠丑., of Professor Wilson's collection: t膩mb奴lavall墨 迟腻尘产奴濒墨 n膩gavallyapyath膩 dvij膩 . hare峁嚺� 谤别峁嘘办腻 kaunt墨 kapil膩 bhasmagandhin墨 . t膩mb奴ly膩峁� ka峁璾k膩bh墨峁ａ弓膩 dev膩bh墨峁ａ弓膩 g峁沨膩艣ay膩 (these four words mean therefore Betel) . 谤别峁嘘办腻y膩峁� bhavejjyotsn墨 k峁泃膩nt膩 kharan膩din墨 . var膩varamukh墨 pucch膩r艣oghn墨 艣y膩m膩 varatkar墨 (and these eight words the perfume 搁别峁嘘办腻) .. 谤别峁嘘办腻khye gandhadravye ...
