[2] This da which was omitted first is inserted slightly above the line between ra and llū. Read ºdalu.
[3] [The Nāgarī passage reads Śrī-Ḍhuṁḍhir=jayati . . .─ The language of lines 3-6 seems to suggest that
Sarvajña-Sarasvatī and Rāmachandra were ruling together and that the sacrifice was performed under their
orders.─ The name of the sacrifice performed is not mentioned ; but the ṛitu indicated does not seem to suit
a Sōmayāga. The last sentence speaks of the vēdi (sacrificial altar) in the maṇḍapa for the celebration of
Agnihōtra (a daily sacrifice), with reference to its representation on the stone.─ The name Sōndā is not due
to English influence since it is called Sōnde and Sōmadā respectively in B. K. No. 51 (Śaka 1084) of 1232-33 and
No. 16 (1556 A. D.) of 1939-40. See also Sōnda in SII, Vol. IX, part. I, No. 339 (Śaka 1145), line 20.─ Ed.]
