[āsphāra, tearing, acc. to Senart, Mv 〔i.9.16〕, in a corrupt line of vs
ed. em. sadāyasaphālāsphārā, see 〔note p. 377〕. But Senart failed to note that the passage 〔i.9.8—12.14〕 is repeated in 〔iii.454.7—456.20〕. This line occurs 〔iii.454.15〕, reading kadaryatapanā ghorā, which disproves at least part of Senartʼs em. and is close enough to the reading of the mss. at 〔i.9.16〕 to make it acceptable as a whole.]
