: 468) HTS = Adana. This is the reading adopted by Laber following the Mss. It would, however, be better to read here (= 4 ), following the commentator, the final 1 ( *) being added स्वार्थे (pleonastically). सक्तणाइ (सतीस्वादि) would mean 'chastity and other virtues'. It is not clear, however, what other virtues are intended by 31. MARE = gepaste yogafstea, special greatness or virtuousness of a man.

Cf. the reference to HISTETTRE in stanza 467 of the TIETETITE and Weber's discussion in his note on the stanza, re. FISICO's identity with Hāla (pp. 202-203 of the 1381 Edition). It would appear from the tone of the present stanza in the Vajjālagga that king Hāla was a person born in a low or obscure family.
