CHAPTER IX-4.
Section-1. aTilUrTAHIESTUIT. (Sk. Taip laat ATTESTATA) The word V is used in the sense of h a i. e. the condition of the soul characterized by perfect contentment. The four kinds mentioned here- hai, xatirêt, aq: TATTI and 3477ITUATE-show the four ways in which such a condition is secured.

The word TRY (Sk. arata) is often used in the Sūtra Literature in the sense of 'except' cf. note on Ch. VI-St. 5.
Section-4. Tala (Sk3fafaut:) Ungrumbling. The Toot TifaT appears to be onomatopoetio referring to the hot
