2 missing, Rddhi is named as the 17th?? Are Candra and Nayika possibly separate? here 1 extra, 18?
There is some textual clue as to distortion, as it seems they follow some sort of linguistic similarity order the order is evidently disrupted at points
Savari repeats?
Have taken liberty of reorganizing from order given in tr. To correspond linguistically, however this may be erroneous because the text purports to give the "location in the surrounding entourage" in the enumeration
