^{page 251 note 7} FGI., p. 180. The actual reading there is Bhuṣvāṭavīṣv a-toyāsu, and Dr. Fleet suggests that the correct reading should be Vindhyâṭavīṣv, but it seems to me to be a mere clerical error for bhīṣv aṭavīṣv. Bhū means “land, district, piece of ground”, and the plural, bhuvas, is given as meaning “districts” in Monier-Williams' Dictionary.

^{page 252 note 2} Āsphoṭa is given in the dictionaries as a noun meaning “shaking, swaying to and fro”, and Monier-Williams adds “the sound of clapping or striking on the arms (as made by combatants, etc.)”. He gives the verb ā-sphuṭ in the causal as meaning “to split open, crush, grind; move, agitate quickly; shake”. Asphoṭayanti here must mean either “they clap their arms (in joy)” or, according to the meaning given by Childers to the Pali verb appoṭheti, “they snap their fingers in pleasure.”
