## Edition

⟨1⟩ (//) ba 3 guna 3 Apuy· 3 ⟨2⟩ di ¡vva!⟨vvaṁ⟩ 1, Iti sakakala
rumata⟨3⟩k· ¡disusuku!⟨disusuk ku⟩ baṭāri hyaṁ pun·

## Apparatus

⟨1⟩ (//) ba HD ⬦ // baḥ H; ṭraba SD • Instead of an opening punctuation
sign, it may be possible to read A, in which case the first word would
be Aba. Noorduyn (1993, p. 313) notes that ba means 3 in one or more
chronograms of the Pararaton. Zoetmulder (1982, s.v. wārecords the word
ba as a synonym of wā: “II 1. live coal, piece of burning material which
is aglow”, and “2. = ava bright, clear, shining”. — ⟨1⟩ guna 3 HD ⬦
gunṇa SD.

⟨1-2⟩ 3 ⟨2⟩ di ¡vva!⟨vvaṁ⟩ HD ⬦ naṣṭa SD.

⟨2⟩ 1, Iti HD ⬦ gomati.

⟨3⟩ rumata⟨3⟩k· HD ⬦ numatak SD. — ⟨3⟩ ¡disusuku!⟨disusuk ku⟩ • For the
same phenomenon of consonant degemination, cf. manuscript Perpusnas L
426B, no. 13: hya ¡pəpəku!⟨pəpək ku⟩ pənuḥ kita maṁke “Now you are
filled by fullness”.
