1 From the original plates and their impressions. : Sanskrit Vrischika-sukl-aikādasyam. • Sanskrit abhyantara-nagare. • Oriya māhà stands for Sanskrit maha.
. The letters gra and ka had been omitted originally but were le ter inserted, the former below the line and the latter compressed between the preceding and following letters.
• The reading may be mudraya. In that case, mudra is used for mudala found elsewhere in the same context.
Sanskrit utsrijya.
. In the left margin. This has a different form than that of 6 at the left margin of the reverse of Plate VI of the Kendupatna plates (set I) of Narasimha II (J. A. S. B., Vol. LXV, 1896, Part I, Plate XVIII).
• The letter mi had been originally omitted and was later imperfectly formed between the preceding and following letters. The word bhumi is, however, unnecessary in the context.
10 Sanskrit Vriachika. The letter dyi has really been written with d having both medis) i and . 11 This vi is redundant. Thauzetéshu shiteshu of Plate VIA, lines 23-24. 11 Sanskrit mahasenapati.
