From my own ink-impression. Metre, Ślôka (Anushtubh); and in the following
verse.
This mark of punctuation is unnecessary. Metre, Sragdhara.
Dr. Rajendralál Mitra read Karll4; but wrongly. 10 Metre, $16ka (Anushtubh.)
• Read vitudsa.
11 After je, an avagraha, which does occur in line 8, appears to have been engraved and cancelled.
1 Metre, Vasantatilaka; and in the following verse. 13 Read sahasrike.
1 This mark of punctuation is unnecessary. If required at all, it should have been inserted after endtva. 14 Read tarpayited.
1 Read dév-arshi.
11 Dr. Rajendralâl Mitra read Jidvant; but I think the last akshara is tf, not nf, though the burr of the copper makes it look rather like nf.
18 This mark of punctuation should properly stand after yatha.
10 This phrase, 6kósa-pâtala-sahita,' with the sky above and, the lower regions below, seems to furnish some authority for Pandit Bhagwanlal Indraji's suggested explanation of bhamichchhidranyaya (ante Vol. XIII. p. 80, note 44), as including everything below the soil and everything above the ground up to the sky.
20 Read vimsaty-atha).
1 Dr. Rajendralal Mitra read Vadavvald; but wrongly. In his translation, he gives Vêdhabhala.
Dr. Rajendralal Mitra read Pusons; but wrongly. In his translation, he gives Pusini.
23 Dr. Rajendralal Mitra read Savahada; but wrongly. This mark of punctuation is unnecessary, especially standing, as it does, in the middle of a compound.
25 Read budbud.
26 Read Gautam-Avitath-Angirasa.
7 This mark of punctuation is unnecessary, especially standing, as it does, in the middle of a word.-Read brahman-Alhekaya.
Metre, Sardalavikriḍita.
