¹² Kielhorn, who readjaṭ-āmv(b)u-pallava-, translated ‘wearing on his head, like water-lilies, a mass of braided hair,’ but confessed that he could not quote any passage in which ambu-pallava is used in the sense of water-lilies (Ep. Ind., Vol. I, p. 42, n., 25). As stated above, the correct reading is jaṭ-āmvra pallava. It is a well-known custom in India to place mango-leaves on the mouth of an auspicious jar.
