......¹ Read Chôḷaṁ.

......³ Metre of verses 12-14 : Ślôka (Anushṭubh).
......⁴ Here the following aksharas have been omitted : -vyôḥ Kausalyâ-śri-Sumitrayôḥ l dê..
......⁵ Metre of verses 15-18 : Sragdharâ.
......⁶ This sign of punctuation is superfluous.
......⁷ Read –turaṁga-prakara..
......⁸ The reading –ôdyattara-also occurs in v. 17 of the Hampe inscription, and in v. 17 of a copper-plate inscription of Sadâśiva, of which Dr. Hultzsch has sent me an impression. I nevertheless consider it to be a mistake for -ôdyat-kara-.
......⁹ This sign of punctuation is superfluous.
......¹⁰ Metre of verses 19 ad 20 : Ślôka (Anushṭubh).
......¹¹ Metre : Śârdûlavikrîḍita.
