From two sets of ink-impressions supplied by Rao Bahadur H. Krishna Sastri.
2 For the sake of the metre, a wond like bhoga- may have to be inserted after -äki-.
Read perhaps pranavasy=ārddhō.
Read perhaps da-rddhö[or ritho P-F. W. T.]sau.
For the sake of the metre, iakty-arddha- may have to be read.
Read perhaps -ārddhas.
7 For the sake of the metre, -purita- may have to be replaced by its synonym bhrita- [and perhaps makutich is for makutaḥ. But the scansion seems too irregular in many places.-F. W. T.].
Read perhaps gunatva-rahito [or guna-gana, since gunatra is found only in gunas ?-F. W. T.]. The metre is wrong here.
For the sake of the metre, yo may have to be inserted here.
The second half of the o of no is very faintly seen.
1 The correct Sandhi 'earmm-eti is precluded by the metre.
1 Road Vijayati on account of the metre.
