_____________________
[1]The reading dāraṇi sambhavē is unmistakable. However, the sense is not clear.
[2] Possibly the intended reading is hutabhuk=tēj=ājjvalaḥ. Even so the construction is not quite all right. I
take it to mean tējasy=ujjvalō hutabhuk.
[3] This t is prefixed to the sa in accordance with a rule of sandhi (Pāṇini’s Ashtādhyāyī, VIII, 3, 30), instances
of which are seldom met with even in literature.
[4]This expression is worthy of note. In ritual terminology hata also means ‘one to whom an oblation is
offered’. This, in the present context, vasu-huta may denote ‘one to whom a tribute of gold is paid’.
[5]The word varahere may be taken as construed either with dig or with dantin. The use of dig-vara would
be synonymous with that of diśa-vara found elsewhere. See above, Vol. XXIII, p. 266, text ll.16-18.
[6] There is something wrong with the construction of the second half of this verse apparently due to the fault
of the engraver. To make it yield some coherent sense we may reconstruct it as follows : yasy= aivaṁvidhachēshṭitaṁ sa nṛipatiḥ kṛitsnē mahī-maṇḍalē saurājya-śriyam=ādadhāti vipulāṁ dharmm-ārtha kāma-pradām.
[7] Correctly it should have been sva-bhujayōḥ. However, as it is, we have to suppose the existence of a word
bhuj synonymous with bhuja or bhujā on the analogy of pad, an equivalent of pada.
[8] The words ēk=aiva are in prose and are to be construed with Bharatabala-nṛipasy=ōttamā rājapataī in verse
10 below.
[9] Instead of tōyana read tōyam.
[10] This mark of punctuation is superfluous.
[11] Better read Kōsalāyām=.
[12]Read kīrtim=uchchair=.
[13] Mahāmahōpādhyāya V. V. Mirashi would take this word to be tamas and explain the compound as dharm.
ārthō-kāmaiḥ prativihitaṁ tamō yayā sā. That, as he points out, would bring out theintended pun on the name
Lōkaprakāśā, though it would involve a wrong sandhi.
