One more point should be noted. For the purpose of interpunctuation a small hook, very much resembling the modern comma is used. In the portion of the manuscript, published in my second instalment, a small stroke or dash' is employed. In the Nagarî transcript, I have represented the hook by a dash, for clearness sake; but in the Roman transliteration I have used commas. In the concluding salutations, the visarga seems to be occasionally employed as a mark of interpunctuation, alternating with the usual comma, and resembling the modern semi-colon; thus after Buddhaya fl. IVas, after Muktaya fl. IVa. After rakshant in fl. IV62 the visarga is employed in addition to the usual mark of a double stroke, to indicate the "full stop." I have seen the visarga occasionally used in this way in modern Hindi manuscripts, as noted in my Gauḍian Grammar.
In the following transcript, transliteration and translation I have followed the same syste as in my previous instalments; see ante, pp. 134, 135.
