69:1b "It does not appear how Tris'anku, in asking the aid of Vas'ishtha's sons after applying in vain to their father, could be charged with resorting to another "s'kh" (School) in the ordinary sense of that word; as it is not conceivable that the sons should have been of another S'kh from the father, whose cause they espouse with so much warmth. The commentator in the Bombay edition explains the word "S'khntaram" as Yjandin rakshntaram, 'one who by sacrificing for thee, etc., will be another protector.' Gorresio's Gauda*? text, which may often be used as a commentary on the older one, has the following paraphrase of the words in question, ch. 60, 3. Mlam utsrijya*? kasmt tvam s'ksv ichhasi lambitum*?. 'Why, forsaking the root, dost thou desire to hang upon the branches?'" MUIR, Sanskrit Texts, Vol. I., p. 401.
69:2b A Chandla was a man born of the illegal and impure union of a S'dra with a woman of one of the three higher castes.
70:1 The Chandla was regarded as the vilest and most abject of the men sprung from wedlock forbidden by the law (Mnavadharmas'stra, Lib. X. 12.); a kind of social malediction weighed upon his head and rejected him from human society.' Gorresio.
