1 From the original plates and their impressions. • The viaarga is indicated by two horizontal strokes instead of the usual dots. * The punctuation mark is indicated by a visarga sign. Originally dhi was engraved.
Correctly osvamine. But the sixth case-ending may have been used for the Brāhmaṇa having paid some money for the purchase of the village.
There is here an unnecessary sign made of two horizontal strokes placed one above the other. This may bo regarded as a redundant visarga rather than a mark of punctuation.
"We should better have tad instead of t& in such contexta. Visarga is written here with two horizontal strokes.
The punctuation is indicated by a horizontal stroke with one dot above and another below. 10 Read purana.
Read dharmmam. There appear to be an anusvåra sign above rmma and the faint trace of a final m to its right.
# The lettere matir-dva gõptunt had been engraved here originally for a second time and were afterwards rubbed off.
