1 This is No. 216 of A. R. Ep., 1964-65, Appendix B. * Expressed by symbol.
* The expressions paramaguru and paramaraja are not generally met with in the string of royal epithets found in inscriptions.
• The correct form of the name, given here and in No. 15 as Jaita", in No. 4 as Jayatao and in No. 5 Jeyata, seems to be Jaitravarmadēva.
I. e. rauta.
• If this may be regarded as a mistake for Yajvapala or Jajapēlia, king Gopāla and his subordinates Jaitravarman and Dējai all belonged to the same family. As suggested above, Mahakumara Jaitravarman may have been aon of Gopala.
It is difficult to determine whether the Arst part of the family name is a mistake for Chauhana. . The danda is superfluous.
I.e. rauta-Kumarasimha. 10 I.e. rauta.
The meaning of the passage is obscure. Is the intended reading pancha-padatikaib? 1 This word seems to have been used here in the sense of yuddhital found elsewhere. 1 This seems to be a mistake for di 7 Sulert w quoted elsewhere. 14 This is No. 220 of A. R. Ep., 1964-65, Appendix B.
15 The correct form of the name, given as Jayata here, Jaita in Nos. 3 and 15, and Jeyata in No. 6. seems to be Jaitravarman.
** The language of the passage is defootive. But it apparently refers to the time when Jaitravarman and Dējai were conducting the affairs of administration during the reign of Gopala.
1 The correct form of this name as given in Nos. 1-2, 6-9 and 18 is Viravarman.
