สรุปเนื้อหา
This text explores the term 'Vyavala' which became a technical term associated with the concept of largesse. It reflects on how limited resources lead to some applicants being overlooked, in a practice tied closely to the term 'dana - vyavala'. The translation and interpretation of related terms indicate complexities in social interactions of the time, with further discussions on the grammatical intricacies of interpreting phrases like 'do not associate (with him) in the next.' Such subtleties highlight the relational dynamics in contexts of giving and receiving.

11 Vyavala. This became almost a technical term in connexion with largesse.
It is literally 'hindered'; but when the things to be given were too limited as
compared with the number of applicants, some had to be passed over. They were
dana - vyava/a' hindered at the largesse' ( Jat. III, 129). Compare D. II, 141;
Sum. I, 296; Jat. I, 89 ; VVA. 298. But hee perhaps it may simply mean '
objected to the largesse.'
12 Literally 'do not associate (with him) in the next.' The gibe intended must be
very nearly as we have rendered. But both the reading of the text and the
grammatical construction are doubtful. The word we have rendered 'mocked'
(uddissat) has only been found here. Perhaps it means 'showed' (the matter) up,
'which comes to much the same as to point the finger of mockery.
