² The example of sāvaśeṣa is स महात्मा भाग्यवशात् महापद्मम् उपागतः.

³ For mahātmā bhāgyavaśāt may be construed as mahātmā abhāgyavaśāt and thereby its meaning may remain incomplete or undecided without a reference to the context. 91 (C.91; B.XVI.91).

92 (C.92; B.XVI.92). ¹ An example of Tautology (ekārtha) is kundendu-hāra-hara-hāsa-sitam. White like a Kunda flower, the moon
