Read ripattraidkhah, i.e. both vi-pattra-fdkha,' without leaves and branches and vipattra-fdkhal, whose branches protect from misfortune.' A bamboo (Dama) has leaves and branches. But the Chalukys race teamfa) is a different kind (apara) of varia, one that has no lesves and branches, 1.e., in the other sense of the adjective, it is a race the branches of which protect from misfortune. Similarly the other epithets in the verse taggest other differences between the two kinds of data. The word apara of the last Pids is practically equivalent to apirea, which is employed in a similar verse above, Vol. III. p. 208, line 6 of the text. 4para is used in the same way (not in the sense before which no other excela") in the verse in Ind. Ant. Vol. XII. p. 198, line 10. : Metre : Vamasths.
• Metre: sloks (Anushtubb). • Read kuladharmma-samdytas.
• Metre : Upajati. • Metre : Ś&rdülavikridita.
+ Read yatra. Read, probably, wirbaltikan.
Read, perhaps, sampattijan. 10 Metre: Indravajra.
11 Read citat-drukirttir, 11 I am unable to give the name of the chief, concealed in this corrupt passage. The verse would be right it we were to read Rajandra-ndmd, but I am not sure about this conjecture.
1 Metre: sloka (Anushțubh).- Read the verso: Valgat-turangamáttunga-matta-mdtanga-durgjandt yach. shandadandatar-tractan Satrandafifriyaswana For ohandadanda se above, Vol. VI. p. 10, v. .
14 Metre : Arya.
15 Here again I cannot give confidently the name intended in the original. The right reading may posibly be frimas Vahukadhavalo.
16 Read ran-6dyatdannatad-Dharma. The namest the end of the verse indoubtedly is Dharmant.
11 Metre: Vrantatilaki.-Bead the second half of the verso: wiatrisha-Nirdayarilena.riplttamdit gairabjair-it kahiti-talash samaré pranidhya!
11 Metre : Sragdhark - Read Kuntaprdednihasta..
