From im xessions. This is No. 139 of 4 . R. Ep., 1952-53, App. B. I owe a fow suggestions to Mr. P. B. Desai.
• Expressed by symbol. • An annavara above this letter seems to be deleted. • We may also read Sadasivo.
. There is an unnecessary dandu with a cancellation mark at the end of the line. This was meant to cover a little vacant space.
• It seems that maha has been inade maha to have a short Gifth syllable in the particular foot of the stanze The name is found as Maharunda oinowhere (cf. No. 145 of 4.R. Ep., 1952-53, App. B; ahove, Vol. XXXII, p. 338).
Thero is an unnecessary danda at the end of the line to cover a little space.
