Today I travelled one stage as far as Suram: I could not proceed any further, as twelve horses were ordered for an officer who was returning from a bathing-place, with his wife and friends.

The Bengal texts read mahasuram in the second line of the verse. This seems to be vicious. The Bombay text reads rane suram. I adopt the last. 475. i.e. Thou art still a woman though the sex hath been changed. Literally, "will not get or obtain you." The Bombay reading, therefore, is vicious.
