1 This is styled by the author (see p. 94) as well by the scribe (see p. 92) as BIRTEGIETESHPIE. There is another work named as Aradhanāpatākā (vide D. C. J. M. vol. XVII, pt. I, pp. 328-329) which should not be confounded with this. Further, there is Soma Suri's Pajjantārāhana, too. See D. C. J. M. (vol. XVII, pt 1. pp. 360-366).
