Verse 18 The principal sentence is यदि आदितैर्नृपखिभि विमद (स्यात्) तत एतत् मम धनु धरुम्—If I can fight दक्षिणे, मा दक्षा the son of Vivasvat (the sun) gave the boon of safety to Indra. अभयमेव दक्षिणा अभयदक्षिणा, इन्द्रस्य अभयदक्षिणा यद्धा दक्षिणा, दत्ता दक्षिणिना ये आ सातो —आ (meaning 'up to') is a कर्मप्रवचनीय in the sense of मर्यादा and अभिविधि and governs a noun in the ablative 'आङ् मर्यादाव- चने पा 1 4 89 (आङ् मर्यादायामुक्तार्थे स्यात् । वचनेनग्रहणादभिविधोरपि । त्रि
