1 [See above, p. 298, n. 5.-Ed.]
This reading is found in the Pikirs and other grants of the king. The Mayidavõlu Prakrit plates read säri. ram såsanam karejamo (above, Vol. VI, p. 87, text, l. 24).
The Uruvupalli and other grants quote this verse in a different form. The Pikira grant which cites the verse reads Bhumidana-saman-dānam.
This verse is not quoted in the other grants of the king.
* Read brahma".
Read -pautrikam.
"Read vasundharam.
The letter pi looks like bi.
This verse does not occur in the other grants of the king.
10 This verse is not quoted in the other grants of the king.
11 Read sva-mukho.
12 Invariably all the earlier grants adopt the form äjiäpti while the later ones, like those of the Eastern Chalukyas, have ajiapti. The former though obsolete seems to be more suitable to the context in the technical sense of the agency that obtains the command (aji-äptih) while ajñaptiḥ would strictly refer to the agency that commands'.
13 There is a symbol between these two sets of dandas.
