pajapati for praj&vati. # This is probably according to B., instead of bhuti. 5* Possibly mukhyamute according to B. # Thus both A. and B.
" Possibly Astekini to be read. H Thus B. plainly for ekatare.
61 Read dild. - Looks like pri.
49 Thus B. plainly for ovijayasi. Thus plainly B., instead of prashamde juna nama. * Read mañashtu. Thus both A. and B., instead of bhago.
Not legible with certainty in B., where the first syllable Read hoti. With pijite for vijite compare Pali looks like apra.
