18 Sir Walter Elliot's copyist read Panthipura. But there is certainly no Anuevdra in the first syllable. And as regards the second syllable, the th is below the line, and is distinct; and, though the upper part is damaged and is somewhat doubtful in the impression, I cannot but read it as rta. Also the comparison of Santivarma II. with Partha (Yudhishthira, Bhimasêna, or Arjuna), in 11. 18 and 19, is decidedly a point in favour of Parthapura being the correct reading.
17 Two syllables are quite uncertain here. Sir Walter Elliot's copyist read upagaliga?; but it has no meaning as far as I can determine.

18 The vowel f is shortened for the sake of the metre. 1 Sir Walter Elliot's copyist read Palamchiy-; but wrongly.
30 Sir Walter Elliot's copyist read nåyakitti,-through thinking of the feminine affix gitti in okkalagitti, woman of the farmer caste', påtaragitti, a dancing girl', kuntanigitti, a procuress', &c. But, if that affix were used here, we ought to have nayakagitti, not ndyakiti. The original is distinct, and as I give it, though it requires explanation, as the feminine form of nayaka is nayika or, in Caparese, nayakasdni.
