तस्य वचनस्य श्रद्धेयत्वात्

Answer 2

तस्य वचनस्य श्रद्धेयत्वात् = ‘in order (to make) his words credible’ (B&K)
IT HAS TO MEAN SOMETHING LIKE “ON ACCOUNT OF THE FACT THAT HIS (THE MOON-RABBIT KING’S) WORD IS TO BE TRUSTED ( श्रद्धेय)” -
\
BEST TRANSLATION (?):
I.E. “BECAUSE YOU NEED TO HEED HIS WORD”
CF. ON THE PRECEDING PAGE ‘II+III.’54.17-18:
श्रद्धेयवचनात् = ‘ON ACCOUNT OF THE AUTHORITY / TRUSTWORTHINESS OF (HIS) UTTERANCE’
\
WITH THE ABL. IT SHOULD REALLY MEAN “on account of OR because of the credibility of his words”

Question 8

‘3.1
अर्थपति m.

Answer 8

अर्थपति m. SEEMS HERE IN CONTEXT TO MEAN ‘JUDGE, ARBITER (OF A DISPUTE)’ [SO JHA] RATHER THAN ‘KING, LORD OF WEALTH’ , SINCE IT REFERS TO THE FALSE-ASCETIC CAT WHO ENDS UP EATING THE HARE AND THE BIRD AT THE END OF 3.2 HERE.

Question 9

कपिञ्जल m.

Answer 9

कपिञ्जल m. kapiñjalaḥ कपिञ्जलः 1 The Chātaka bird; सोमपीथं तु यत्तस्य शिर आसीत्कपिञ्जलः Bhāg.6.9.5. -2 The Tittiri bird. NOTE; IN THE STORY HERE कपिञ्जल SEEMS TO BE THE PROPER NAME OF A चटक BIRD (SEE ‘56.1-2 कपिञ्जलो नाम चटकः ).
\
IT’S CONFUSING BECAUSE BOTH शश AND शशक MEAN ‘rabbit’. BUT IN THIS CASE, YOU HAVE TO DIVIDE शशकपिञ्जल AS शश + कपिञ्जल & NOT शशक + पिञ्जल (?)
