In those sections of the Udyoga Parvam where the Rathas and the Atirathas, &c, are counted by Bhishma, no mention is made of any warrior of the name of Sweta. The Burdwan Pundits omit these passages altogether. I myself believe them to be an interpolation. Occurring, however, as it does in both the Bengal and the Bombay texts, I cannot omit in the English version.
Nor do we think Plymouth to be utterly meaningless, though it is not at the mouth of the Ply, or any other river such as wanders through the Devon Moorlands to the British Channel. "Et parvam Trojam, simulataque magnis Pergama, et arentem Xanthi cognomine rivum Agnosco: Seaeaeque amplector limina portae." Throughout New England, and in all the original colonies, we find this to be the case.
In this respect he often reminded me of Sir Walter Scott, with whom, in the general character of his mind, he had very little affinity. The Georgics pleased me better; the Eclogues best, the second and tenth above all. But I think the finest lines in the Latin language are those five which begin, "Sepibus in nostris parvam te roscida mala " I cannot tell you how they struck me.
His compendium of Galen was the text-book of medicine in the West for many centuries. It was known as the "Isagoge in Artem Parvam Galeni." His son, Ishac Ben Honein, and his nephew, Hobeisch, were also famous as medical practitioners and translators. Still another of these Arabian Christians, who acquired a reputation as writers in medicine, was Alkindus.
The question of Yudhishthira, therefore, really relates to Mahadeva although the name that occurs is of Durvasa. A Parvam is a knot. Reeds and bamboos consist of a series of knots. The space between two knots is called a Salya. The allusion is to the fiery mare's head which is supposed to wander through the ocean. Verses 4 to 9 are extremely difficult. They represent so many surceases.
The archdeacon returned to his chamber dumbfounded, comprehending at last who Gossip Tourangeau was, and recalling that passage of the register of Sainte-Martin, of Tours: Abbas beati Martini, SCILICET REX FRANCIAE, est canonicus de consuetudine et habet parvam proebendam quam habet sanctus Venantius, et debet sedere in sede thesaurarii.
