दंशानपेक्षते == दम्शान् + अपेक्षते
दंशानपेक्षते NO, NO, NO! WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A FROG HERE. BASED ON THE PARALLELISM WITH THE FOLLOWING PADA, THIS HAS TO MEAN THAT THE FROG IS SCOPING OUT FLIES (दंशान् ) EVEN WHILE HE SITS IN THE SNAKE’S MOUTH, EVEN AS WE SCOPE OUT PLEASURES EVEN THOUGH WE ARE ALREADY EATEN BY THE SERPENT OF TIME.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\
दंशानपेक्षते (?) == ‘cries out for food’ (transl.) ????
MAYBE MORE LIKE ‘looks to (make) bites of his own’
\
दंशानपेक्षते == दम्शान् + अपेक्षते == ‘he looks around for bites (of food to eat)’ I THINK THIS IS RIGHT GIVEN THE (transl.) AND THE CONTEXT HERE - THE WAY THE VERSE CONTINUES. BUT I FIND NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER IN THE DICTIONARIES THAT दंश m. EVER MEANS ‘food’ OR ‘bite of food’ - AND YET ALL EDITIONS SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME TEXT HERE SO I ASSUME IT IS CORRECT
\
