1 Read -tarbyah.
Read -sarealit.. . Apparently altered to skaldliflayd ; read skaldrallllayd. • The aksharas in brackets are doubtful, here and in the following words of this verse. Metre: Prithvi.
6 Metre : Ary. Every akshara of this verse is quite clear. 1 Metre: Sragdhari.-Read Tad-vanie. • The ga of turaga. was originally omitted and is engraved below the line. Metre: śikharini.
10 Read kshamd..
11 Metre: Sragdhara. Read prakdra-prathi-(); this alteration seems to have been made in the original. 1 Metre: Sloka (Anushtubh).
Metre of verses 11-13: Sragdhara. Read -dantasa. I take danta to be need in the sense of 'spin.
16 Originally klipitaḥ was engraved, but the sign of the vowel i has been undoubtedly struck out, and pat may have been altered to pta.
I am doubtful about the correctness of the two aksharas in brackets. Only the letters k and y are certain.
