That's the bit I don't understand ... whom or what is the genitive or
dative plural referring to?

Again, what's this genitive/dative plural (amhaaka.m) all about? Of
us? For us?

Also, I read cevaaya.m as ca (not ce) + eva + aya.m

I just read that as a present participle, "completely seeing" ... no?
