xix. 38- -gulós, and so both editions print: in vs. 2, again, all (save W's P.M.W., -ló) agree in having -lú; and the Bombay ed. has -lú (as nom.), while the Berlin ed. and the Index have guggulu (as voc.); whether the comm. intends guggulo (voc.) or guggulus (nom., with the later gender), I am not sure. If we read guggulu (as voc.), it may be noted that no other voc. sing, neuter from stems in u or i is registered in my Noun-Inflection (see p. 413, 390).⌋

Translated: Grill, 39, 193; Bloomfield, 40, 675; Griffith, ii. 295.

1. Yákṣmas obstruct him not, a curse attains him not, whom the agreeable odor of the healing gúggulu attains.

2. From him the yákṣmas scatter away, like antelopes from a wild beast. If, O gúggulu, thou art from the river, or if also from the ocean, the name of both have I taken (grah), that this man may be uninjured.
