(but mss. °guptaṃ or °uptaṃ) bahuśālimadhye, apparently
epithet of rājadhānīm, capital city. The following word,
in the midst of much rice, suggests that a form of upta,
sown, may be the true reading, with v.l.; antiṣṭha- could
be superl. to Pali anti(ṃ), close by, near (Ved. anti): sown
very close (up to the city-limits), in the midst of abundant
rice?
