1 The reading of the name may also be Sobhinnd. * The intended reading seems to be Kanalubhadvarya.
• The expression bhogaka-kahetra seems to mean the same thing as bhoga-kohetra. Possibly the piece of land in question was being enjoyed by the persons named Dâya, Jvara and Ulaka.
Read sagotra.
Read Drönasvaminë.
• The head of the first of the two dandaa is curved towards the left. This type of double danda is also known from other records. The double danda is followed by the representation of a conch-shell.
Read vivsiddhayć.
The akshara ggra here looks more like ttra.
. This mark of interpunctuation is written by two small horizontal strokes which were probably inserted as an afterthought.
10 This sentence should have properly been written before the previous sentence boginning with api chatra.
11 This is the second half of a verse which is fully quoted below. Note that yasya should have boen written twice instead of thrice and tasya twice instead of once. Better omit this half staza.
* Read shashtin parahao or shashti-varshao.
Here as well as in some other instances g has a top matrd and looks like t. 14 Read dattani nd. 16 There is a dot here probably to indicate mark of interpuntuation.
