,, lviii, f. n. 2—The Nāgad and Kāsārē plates have since been edited by Mr. G. H. Khare in Ep. Ind., Vol. XXVIII, pp. 195 ff. He takes Nikumbhāllaśakti to mean Allaśakti of Nikumbha, and apparently understands Nikumbha as a family name. The Kāsārē plates show, however, that Nikumbha was another name of Bhānuśakti, the founder of the family. It was used by his descendants as a biruda. Their family name was Sēndraka.
,, lix. f. n. 2—The facsimile of the Mundakhēdē plates has since been noticed in a subsequent issue of the same Marathi journal Prabbāta (Vol. II). I have edited the plates in Ep.Ind., Vol. XXIX from that facsimile.

,, lxv, para. 2, line 5—For Anivartakānivartayitri read Anivartakanivartayitri.
,, lxxi, para. 2, line 1—One more record of the reign of this Śankaragana has recently been discovered at Muriā, 3 ½ miles from Bōriā on the Jabalpur-Saugor road. It is fragmentary and records the construction of some meritorious work (kirli) by one Bhattikaradēva during the reign of the illustrious Śankaragana. I have edited the record with a facsimile in A. B. O. R. I., Vol. XXXV, pp. 20 ff.
,, lxxii, para. 4, line 5—For Vallabbarāia read Vallabbarōja.
,, lxxxv, para. 2, lines 9 and 13 –For Kāliyā read Kāliya.
,, lxxxvi, para. 4, line 5—For Sōmēśvara read Sōmasvāmin.
,, lxxxvi, para. 5, line I —Recently a fragmentary stone inscriptions of Śankaragana III has come to notice at Jabalpur. It opens with a verse in praise of Chakrapāni (Vishnu). Line 8 of the inscription states that Śankaragana defeated with ease a Gurjara king. The latter was probably the Pratīhāra king Vijayapāla whose Rājōrgadh inscription is dated V. 1016(959 A. C.). The inscriptions has been edited by me with a facsimile in A. B. O. R. I. XXXV, pp. 23 ff.
,, lxxxvii,line 6—Mr. M. Venkataramayya has recently discussed the identification of Vāchaspati. the minister of Krishna, mentioned in the Bhilsā inscription. J.O.R., Vol. XXII, pp. 56 ff. He identifies this Krishna with the Rāshtrakūta king Krishna III and thinks that his minister Vāchaspati defeated the Chēdi king Lakshmanarājā II, as the latter had set at nought the authority of the Rāshtrakūtas over Malwa and Lāta in marching across those territories as far as Sōmanāth Pātan. He further says that these raids of Lakshmanarāja were undertaken at the instigation of the Gujara-Pratīhāras. This view does not appear to be correct. There is no basis for the supposition that the Rāshtrakūtas and the Kalachuris, who had been matrimonially connected for several generations, became hostile to each other during the reign of Lakshmanarāja II. Far from assisting the Gurjara-Pratāhāras by his raids in Gujarat and Saurashtra, Laksmanarāja II is known to have fought with them. His son Śankaragana III continued the hostilities as stated in the preceding note.
