__________________________________________________________________________________________

......¹ This sign of punctuation is superfluous.
......² Read -saṁvatsara-.
......³ Read - saṁvatsar- ; one would expect here -saṁvatsara-ântargat-Âshâḍha-.
......⁴ Read saṁvat.
......⁵ Read ºmata.
......⁶ Read ºṇatô.
......⁷ Read ºd=aivaṁ ; the word maryâdâ (after nadî) appears superfluous.
......⁸ This sign of visarga appears to have been originally omitted and to have been added afterwards. I do not understand the sense of the original text.
......⁹ Read ºtô=châº.
......¹⁰ Read ºvêśyô.
......¹¹ The word sphaṭika appears to be entirely out of place here.
......¹² Read ch=Âmbûº.
......¹³ This correction appears to have been made in the original.
......¹⁴ I am almost certain that the three lines which denote au have been struck out in the original, and believe the intended name to be Guṇapura.
......¹⁵ Read ºttaḥ | aṁ dattam=â-chaṁdr-(?).
