hority of the Amara Kosha and of the Commentator on Panini
for stating that the word sometimes means 'the wife of Manu.' In the
following text of the Mahabharata I. 2553. also, Manu appears to be
the name of a female: '_Anaradyam_, _Manum_, _Vansam_, _Asuram_,
_Marganapriyam_, _Anupam_, _Subhagam_, _Bhasim iti_, _Pradha
vyajayata_. Pradha (daughter of Daksha) bore Anavadya, Manu, Vansa,

preceding part of this passage III. 14, 11 f. that Manu was one of
Kasyapa's eight wives, we must here read Kasyap. The Ganda recension
reads (III, 20, 30) _Manur manushyams cha tatha janayamasa Raghana_,
instead of the corresponding line in the Bombay edition. _Muir's
