⏑−⏑⏑¦⏑−−−¦¦−−−⏑⏑[⏑⏑]¦⏑−⏑− Ud 7.4 reads: vaccho khīrūpako va mātaraṁ, where vaccho is hypermetric, we should probably understand the same here, with the further difficulty that va has been Sanskritized to iva, we therefore need to read either kṣīrapaka 'va or kṣīrapakeva m.c. At 370d the same line occurs as a Vaitālīya even line.⁰⁴

⏑⏑−⏑−¦−⏑−⏑−    Vaitālīya The opening is hypermetric by one mātrā. Dhp 341 reads: saritāni sinehitāni ca. Uv records no variants for this line, but we might have expected a reading saritāni snehitāni ca, with the svarabhakti vowel between s- and -n being understood.⁰⁶

−⏑−−⏑⏑¦−⏑−⏑− We again see the opening −⏑−−⏑⏑ here, which appears to be as acceptable in this text as in the Dhammapada. Dhp 341 reads somanassāni which gives the same variation.⁰⁷
