describes the Daṇḍanâyaka Kêsimayya, in line 28, as kadana-Triṇêtra, “ a very Triṇêtra in destruction,
killing, slaughter, or war.” But the akshara before the tri does not seem identical with the ṅka of paṅkaja in
the same line and elsewhere, but appears rather to include an m ; and also the compound itself, aṅka-Triṇêtra,
seems, somehow, not a satisfactory one.─ Regarding this biruda, now see the Postscript on page 83 below.
_________________________________________
[1] Mr. Rice’s text gives alkôvade, which is rendered in the translation by “ without fear,”─ being imagined,
I suppose, to be a compound of alku (which, however, should be aḷku), ‘ fear,’ and ôvade, the negative participle
of ôvu, ‘ to take care of, to guard, protect, cherish.’─ The real reading, Mûvaḍi, is quite certain. For some
marks which before this word, and after Kannaradêvaṁ, see note 4 on page 53 above.
[2] Regarding the marks after this word, see note 4 on page 53 above.
[3] Regarding the marks before this word, see note 4 on page 53 above.
[4] The l and the u are quite recognisable in the ink-impression, though not in the collotype.
[5] Regarding the marks before this word, see note 4 on page 53 above.
[6] Originally, I read Maṇalarata[ṅg=a]nuvaradoḷ. Mr. Rice’s text gives Manâlaraṅge anuvaradoḷ. The
real name, Maṇalera, is quite distinct, in the present ink-impression in line 21 below.
[7] Read âḷvon.
[8] Represented by a plain symbol.
[9] Metre, Champakamâlâ ; and in the following verse.
[10] Read pochcharisuna, as suggested to me by Mr. Kittel. The poṭṭaḷisuva of the original not only violates
the prâsa or alliteration of the second syllable of the pâda, by giving ḷ instead of r, but also present a word for
which no authority can be found.
[11] The ne was at first omitted, and then was inserted below the line.
[12] The metre is faulty here ; we have ᴗ ᴗ ─, instead of ─ ᴗ ᴗ ─.
