1 From the original plate and impressions. * Expressed by a symbol.
The syllablo sla here looks like tala. • The Gañjām plato A has haraih. The top motra of dha in the present inscription was inadvertently incised.
The word samaudsita found in numerous other records is better suited in this context, although the grante of the Bhauma-Karas usually have nivåsin.
•The Gatjam plate A reads sadgatah which Kielhorn corrected to aangalan.
*The Bāņpur plate reads ye nitvå while both the Gañjām plates have yê nitá hriday-gra-tapa-. On the whole the reading of the Gañjām plates is preferable.
• The Banpur and Ganjim plates read kanth-ablisha which is the roading intended.
The Bånpur and Gafijam plates have the correct reading krita in place of prati 10 The Gañjām plates bare sriman in place of lawmdl. 11 Read kahma-bharare.
