REMARKS. (1) The reading trá is very distinct; the right side of the t however bears a slight trace of the vowel w, as if the form jdmatu had been present, along with the form jamátra, in the mind of the writer. - (2) AS. "varsha. - (3) AS. °tadága.-(4) G. Pindi. - (5) AS. grama. - (6) AS. sahasradona. -(7) G. and AS. lena. - (8) AS. podhiyo. - (9) The syllable ani (for the anusvára is quite visible) has been added between kå and Aid, probably in order to point out that the initial a has been absorbed into the d of ka. The d of Ad is doubtful; the vowelmark is not ordinarily, as would here be the case, placed at the top of the vertical line. - (10) AS. omi. The antsvara is doubtful. If it exists, it is of course a mistake. -(11) The u is subscribed in two ways, the one very similar to T, as here and in putrasa in the next line, the other in the shape of a small horizontal stroke, as in mochayitum, pitu. (12) Between ye and hi there is a blank, which seems to have been filled up by two or three characters that would have been effaced. - (13) AS.bhadran. The a does not appear to be quite certain. -(14) AS."kanán. - (15) AS. krità tato smi. The antsvara, though faulty, seems to exist on the stone. - (16) AS. tini gosao. - (17) AS. gamo. -(18) G. cha nena. -(19) AS. kshetra. -(20) G. and AS. múle. - (21) G. disão. - (22) G. and AS. Ctána. -(23) G. Otudisao.
