XXXVIII.-FURTHER PÂBHOSA INSCRIPTIONS.
By G. BÜRLER, PH.D., LL.D., C.L.E. In addition to the three larger inscriptions, published by Dr. Führer (ante, p. 240ff), the Påbhos& cave contains & number of small and difficult ones, regarding whicb I offer some remarks at the request of the Editor, though I am unable to give in every case certain and complete readings or satisfactory explanations. All of them are somewhat carelessly incised on the hermit's bed and seem to belong to a period, when the cave was no longer occupied' by the original donee or donees. The characters show the types of the seventh or eighth century A.D. The language is incorrect Sanskrit, occasionally, it would seem mixed with Prakrit.
