^[1] Metre of verses 3-5 : Śârdûlavikrîḍita.
^[2] Read -bhrâjitâd=.
^[3] Read ºsaṭavân=.
^[4] Read ºlaś=chaṇḍâṁśôḥ.
^[5] Read san=.
^[6] Metre : Vasantatilakâ.
^[7] Metre of verses 7 and 8 : Śârdûlavikrîḍita.
^[8] This reading is quite certain ; Prof. Bühler read -vahêna.
^[9] Read ruddhvâ.
^[10] Nishkṛishṭâsi- is the reading of the Maṇṇe grant. Prof. Bühler’s text has nishkṛishṭâri-, and the photo-lithograph actually has the akshara ri at the end of line 10 ; but, so far as I can judge, that akshara was never really engraved, and owes its presence solely to Prof. Bühler’s conjectural reading.
^[11] Read spṛishṭavân=na. Prof. Bühler has suggested the reading yat=spṛishṭaº, but this alteration of the original text seems to me unnecessary.
^[12] Read =âchirâd=.
^[13] Read chhattra-.
^[14] Metre : Vasantatilakâ.
^[15] Originally the sign of anusvâra was engraved above shṭha, but it has been struck out again.
^[16] Metre of verses 10-20 : Śârdûlavikrîḍita.─ Read prâbhûd=dhairyavatas=.
^[17] Read yasmin=.
^[18] Read kṛitâḥ susadṛiśâ. I should have expected ºbhûshaṇâ ; but the plate seems really to have ºbhûshitâ, which is the reading of the Waṇî and Maṇṇe grants. Read =arthinâm [|| 11*] Yasy=âkâra-.
