73. cf. S Rāj II.2.1. 945 cf. 74. P. t. adds here -

अतःपरं प्रवक्ष्यामि पञ्चमपाडवे भाषाः।

This line is out of place, the metre is also broken. 75. Kalā (appendix) on SR II, p. 135 reads 'samayoryutā', describing a concert between sadja-madhyama.

S Rāj 11.2.1. 874. 78. Read as bāṅgālī in ibid 877. Another bhāṣā bearing the same name, but with a different description, is included in ibid 836, 837, under the same rāga, viz. śuddhapañcama. '79.

याष्ट्रिकेन मुनिनात्र पञ्चमे, भाषितेति कथितात्र सैन्धवी¹ ।

81. cf.

सैव गीतपरमार्थवेदिना सैन्धवी निगदिताङ्गसंज्ञया ॥

S Rāj II.2.3.21, Saindhavī is mentioned here as a bhāṣāṅga rāga. 82. Kalā (appendix) on SR II, p. 135 reads pagrahāmšikā. describing 'pa' as the graha and amśa. S. Rāj. 11.2.1.868 cd reads -

.....मधनोस्वरभूयसी ।

83. Kalā (appendix) on SR II, p. 135 and S Rāj II.2.1.868, 869 b treat it as a bhāṣā. S. Rāj. 869 cd says -

इमामेव विभाषेति मुनिराचष्ट याष्टिक:।

84. SR II.2.151b reads - 'grahāniśa- nyāsa- dhaivatā ', describing dhaivata as the graha, amsa and nyāsa. 85. This line seems to be misplaced here. 86. SR II.2.150 c, 15I c and S Rāj II.2.1, 849, 850 treat is as a bhāṣā. 87. Verse 27 d of our text reads 'āndhrī' in the enumeration (uddeśa). Kalā (appendix) on SR II, p. 116 and S. Rāj II.2.1. 872 read it as āndhrī, treating it as a bhāṣā with a description bearing similarity to that in our text here. Andhālī, treated as a vibhāṣā in SR II.2.151d-153b and S Rāj II.2.1.890, 891 bears a different description. In S Rāj (ibid) Yāṣṭika is cited as the authority, while giving the viniyoga (application).
