14 From the original plates.
1 Represented by a symbol. The symbol here is very like the numerical symbol for one.' But, as the other plates are not numbered, it does not seem intended to be interpreted in that way. 16 Metre, Arya
11 Over this ma, there is a mark which much resembles the anusura ; and there are similar marks in several other places. But they are only faults in the copper, or rust-marku.
16 Motre, Slöks (Anushțubh); and in the next two versoe. 19, and 21 These marks of punctuation are unnecessary. Read ten-anska, or ten-aivam-andka.
25 Road, probably, visvimítraval-lakshmana. "Here, I think, we require a genitive case, and should read oddvaadminat. 36 Read, probably, adinim-d-uy Asarhgen.
Omit the negative particle before this word chafa. * Read adindm. Read vifuddha ity. 29 Metre, Slöks (Anushtubh); and in the following six veraes.
and 51 These marks of punctuation are unnecessary.
