Commentary
[The 艣谤耻迟颈 says: 补办迟腻岣� 艣arkar膩 upadadh膩ti = he places sugar mixed with grease.
It is not clear from this sentence whether the sugar is to be mixed with oil or clarified butter. But another 艣谤耻迟颈 says: tejo vai gh峁泃am = 鈥榗larified butter is indeed lustre鈥�. That is a clue, an indication that the sugar is to be mixed with clarified butter. The first 艣谤耻迟颈 thus means: 鈥榟e places sugar mixed with clarified butter鈥� and this meaning belongs entirely to the first 艣谤耻迟颈 in spite of the fact that the clue is found in the second one.]
