vāso pi ca te ChS: vāso te. The Burmese edition has adopted this reading to regularize the metre. Norman (WD) suggests we read vāsŏ pi ca tĕ, which would have the same effect, but note that the shape of the variation would be unusual again here, which must count against it. However this is probably simply a posterior line used in prior position by way of metrical license, and no ‘correction’ is needed (cf. 45c).⁰⁵ natthi antarā,
