37 almost alike. It is shown here that a misreading of these characters has given rise to many Prākrit forms which are discussed in this paper. So far known, this is a new approach towards the explanation of many Prākrit words and forms which are otherwise obscure.
28. Kolhapur Copper-plates of Gandarādityadeva: Saka
1048 (E.I., XXIII, 1-2, pp. 28-34, Ootacamund, 1937). These copper-plates which were recently discovered in Kolhapur are deciphered here. The text is edited here along with an English translation and with an introductory note explaining the localities mentioned in these plates. 29. A Tamil Commentary on Pravacanasāra (Annals of the
B.O.R.I., XIX, 1, pp. 1-2, Poona, 1938). The opening verse of the Tamil commentary is correctly interpreted in this note. 30. Jambudvipa-prajñapti-samgraha of Padmanandi (I.H.Q.,

N.I.A., II, 2, pp. 11-12, Bombay, 1939). The famous verse śrīmat-parama-gambhira, etc., which occurs in many Jaina inscriptions, is pointed out here to be the first verse of the Pramāna-samgraha of Akalanka which is lately brought to light. This will enable one to put limits to the date of Akalanka as well as to the age of many undated epigraphs. 33. Some Inscriptions on Jaina Images (J.A., V, 3, pp. 97-99,
Arrah, 1939).
