inition of meaning at this passage. But may it not be taken as
gassa bhūmi as far as there was ground for the elephant D i.50;
a summing up= "in short"? It is left doubtful. If it is=yāva,
similarly: y. yānassa bh. as far as the carriage — road D i.89,
then we should expect yāva na, as in the preceding sentence,

if it is yāvad eva the meaning "not more than made known by
Yāvatā (indecl.) [abl. of yāvant in adv. use cp. tāvatā) as far
