^[1]See classification I, 4, a, 2 (names derived from spirits and animal deities).
^[2]Lüders’ treatment of this inscription is missing.
^[3]In other cases, where the gift is specified as suchi, thabho, thabhā, the object of object of donation is put in the nominative. The genitive in bodhichakasa is an exception and induced Barua-Sinha to take the word as an epithet used in apposition to Saṁghamita, ‘characterizing a tendency towards the ideal of Buddhahood’. It is, however, not even evident from the inscription that Saṁghamita belonged to the order of monks.
^[4]From the eye-copy of Cunningham. The fragment consists only of the two letters gha and mi and a rest of the akshara preceding gha, not to be clearly deciphered. The restoration is quite conjectural.
^[5]See classification I, 1, a (Buddhist names).
