And in it there is a tank, its steps laid with emerald, covered over with open lotuses of gold on glossy beryl stalks; and the swans that have made their home in its water will not, even at the sight of you, think longingly of Mānasa, near though it is, for their grief has gone. **The stanza is an argument, and the word it turns on is आध्यास्यन्ति.** Read as आ plus अधि plus √आस् it would mean 'will not take up residence in', which makes a flat sentence about where birds live. Mallinātha reads it as आ with √ध्यै, to brood on, and quotes a grammar for it — आध्यानमुत्कण्ठास्मरणम्, 'ādhyāna is remembrance with longing', from the Kāśikā — glossing नोत्कण्ठया स्मरिष्यन्ति. The verse's ending backs him: √ध्यै takes parasmaipada, आ-अधि-√आस् does not, and the verse has -अन्ति. **So the swans do not merely stay. They do not miss the place.** He then explains why, in an ablative nobody asked for: वर्षाकालेऽपि व्यपगतकलुषजलत्वात्, because this water stays clear even in the rains. What sends swans to Mānasa is the season turning every other pool to mud; here the cue fails. And the pool has what the lake has — 1.64 gave Mānasa हेमाम्भोजप्रसवि सलिलम्, water that puts out golden lotuses, and this one is covered in them. **1.11 is the stanza this one answers.** There the royal swans heard the cloud's thunder, became मानसोत्काः, longing for Mānasa, and flew north as its companions; here the same cloud is seen and nobody moves. Everything else he glosses lightly: अस्मिन् is मदीयागारे, in my house; मानसम् gets its common noun added, मानससरः, so that nobody reads it as 'of the mind'; संनिकृष्टम् is संनिहितम् and then सुगममपि, easy to reach, even so. He stops once to derive a word, and it is वैदूर्य: from the mountain विदूर by Pāṇini 4.3.84 विदूराञ्ञ्यः, then a second time with अण् in the sense of 'made of', so the stalks are beryl-work and not beryls. He names no figure.
uncheckedthe reader's reading, following Mallinātha's gloss; the reading of आध्यास्यन्ति as आ with √ध्यै, the Kāśikā citation, the reason the water stays clear, the derivation of वैदूर्य, and the glosses on अस्मिन्, मानसम् and संनिकृष्टम् are his. The parasmaipada ending as further evidence for the root is the reader's; so are the echoes of 1.11's मानसोत्काः and 1.64's हेमाम्भोजप्रसवि सलिलम्, both read off `text.md`“nādhyāsyanti notkaṇṭhayā smariṣyanti || “ādhyānam utkaṇṭhāsmaraṇam” iti kāśikāyām || … varṣākāle 'pi vyapagatakaluṣajalatvād vītaduḥkhāḥ santaḥ … vidūre bhavā vaidūryāḥ || “vidūrāñ ñyaḥ” iti yapratyayaḥ”
And in this house there is a tank, its flight of steps laid with emerald slabs, covered over with open golden lotuses on glossy beryl stalks; and the swans that have made their home in its water will not, even at the sight of you, brood longingly on Mānasa, near though it is — for their grief has gone. Mallinātha makes two sentences of it and supplies a verb for each: अस्ति for the first half, which has none, and सन्तः for the swans' state. He derives one word, वैदूर्य, from the mountain विदूर and then again for the gem-work of the stalks; he glosses अस्मिन् as मदीयागारे, adds मानससरः to मानसम् so it is not read as 'of the mind', and turns संनिकृष्टम् into सुगममपि, 'easy to reach, even so'. He names no figure. The one word that carries the stanza is आध्यास्यन्ति, and he settles its reading against a grammar.
