_____________________________________
^[1] Before this one misses the word vartamâna-.
^[2] Read -ântaraṅga-.
^[3] Read mahâmahattara-.
^[4]Officials named pustakapâla I have not found mentioned elsewhere ; the following [ku]ṭakôlas- I am unable to explain ; and instead of -[â]dhikaraṇa I should have expected -âdhikaraṇikân.
^[5] Read samâjñâpayati.
^[6] See above, p. 139, note 8.
^[7] Read bhûmichchhidr-âbhidhâna-.
^[8] Read mâtâpi- (only once).
^[9] Read -Âvaisâra-.
^[10] See the same form of the word (Vâjasêna for Vâjasanêya) above, Vol. IV. p. 200, l. 14. and note 13.
^[11] Read -âdhyâyi-.
^[12] Originally ºmâyaḥ was engraved ; read ºmây=êh=aiv=ôttarâyaṇê.
^[13] Read dattô ; but this word and the following as far as ºvirdhayê should have been omitted.
^[14] Read puṇy-âbhivṛiddhayê ; compare pany-âpivirdhayô above, Vol. IV. p. 200, l. 18 ; and punya-yaśê-pivarddhaê ibid. p. 259, l. 18.
^[15] Read saliladhârâ-puraḥsarêṇa (for ºsaraṁ) ; compare above, Vol. III. p. 45, l. 40 ; Vol. IV. p. 200, l. 19 ; and elsewhere. Some grants have saliladhârâ-puraḥsarêṇa vidhinâ.
^[16] Compare above, Vol. IV. p. 201, l. 21.
^[17] Metre : Pushpitâgrâ. For the spelling of some words of this verse compare ibid. ll. 32 and 33.
^[18] Read =udâhṛitaṁ cha buddhvâ.
^[19] Read utkîrṇaṁ.
^[20] Read tambâra. ( for tâmrakâra- ?) ; compare kâṁsâra for kâṁsyakâra.
^[21] Read prasiddha-chatuḥsîmaś=cha. The last akshara, which I have given as śoha, looks in the original like ni, preceded by part of the letter ś.
^[22] Read -gotrây= Audalya-.
^[23] Read -Dêvarâta-.
^[24] Intended for ardhô=ṁśaḥ, but these words are superfluous.
