_____________________________
^[1]From Cunningham’s eye-copy. The transcript has Maragiri and Fitamitasa. Moragirami is evidently a mistake for Moragirima or Moragirimha. Fātamitasa may be a mistake for Fitamitasa (‘one who subdued his friend’) or better Fitāmitasa (‘one who defeated his enemy’), but in the eye-copy the first akshara is distinctly jā.
^[2]Under the assumption that Jitāmitra has to be understood, the name has been classified II, 3, a (names derived from wealth, fame, and birth).
^[3]For thabhā see the remark on A 25.
^[4]See classification I, 2, A, b (names derived from constellations).
^[5]Lüders’ treatment of this inscription is missing.
^[6]This is probably a clerical mistake for Moragirimhā to be found in A 27, A 29. The defec- tive spelling also appears in Moragirami (A 26).
^[7]See classification II, 1, a (names derived from appearance of the body). It has been assumed, that ghāṭa and ghāṭaka are used in the measuring of “nape or back of the neckâ.
