37 In the middle of this line, with sa khalu, the identical portion of the two grants recommences.
3 The Bhagalpur plate has vata for våtaka.
30 The name of the capital should be Sri-Mudgagiri. Though the number of the letters on the plate agrees with that name, their traces, which are only very faintly visible, hardly seem to do so.
anyâmé-châ) kirtitân| râjapâdopajivina [h] | prativâsino brâhmahattamottama ka. ma-pa-roga-maidândha-chandala-paryantân |
The letters on the plate are only maharadhiraja, the syllable ja being omitted by mistake.
1 From this, line down to the end of line 26, the version of the Amgachhi grant is new. It mentions the donor, Vigrahapala, the province Pundavardhana, and apparently a town, Kotivarsha.
At the end of this line the two grants again coincide. There is a mention here of a place Vishamapura. The office of mahdkartákritika is omitted in the
Amgachhi grant.-To the title of dauḥsadhasadhanika the Bhagalpur grant prefixes maha. Doked in the transoript of the latter grant is a misprint for dauḥéd as the original plate has it.
The Bhagalpur grant has rajasthantyoparika for rajasthanoparika; also, dasâparadhika, dandapasika and saulkika, with the palatal sa, while the Amgâchh! plate spells with the dental sa.
Prântapala is clearly an error for prántapala.
The Bhagalpur plate has tadayuktaka for tadayukta; it also has khandaraksha instead of angaraksha.
The Bhagalpur plate has abhitvamana (not abhitvamâna, as in the transcript), clearly an error for abhitvaramana. It has also vishayapati for vishayapâ; also hana not hrana, as in the transcript.
The Bhagalpur plate has rájapadopajivinah; and it omits the imperfectly legible word ka. ma or ke. ma.
