1 Read kam vrajět. The visarga mark before the danda may also be regarded as a part of the mark of punetuation.
• An akshara looking like chha was originally engraved in place of ári. Sandhi has not been observed here. 'Originally nta or nta was written in place of ma. The following akshara is cut off by the hole to which reference has been made above. The intended name seems to be Samantāka. After having incised the first akshara of the name, the engraver forgot the second akshara and incised the third which was however immediately corrected.
This is sometimes found in the records of the Ganjam area as Vagulika and Värgulika. Read Fanasimhina.
10 The punctuation is indicated by a visarga-like sign followed by a Siddham symbol.
