the company of the Apajиtas (rests) the investment of the Kаrшаpanas. (ASWI)
Notes
_____________
Possibly the gaнa of the Apajиtas mentioned here is the same as the Siddhagaнa of the
Aparаjitas who are the trustees in No. 23; if so, gaнa may be taken in the sense of
school, by the kаrшаpanas, the income from the field must be meant. (ASWI)
