• From impressions supplied to me by Mr. Fleet.
o Expressed by a symbol. • Metre, Blóka (Anushtubh). The third Pada of this verse is quite incorrect. Probably, the intended reading was earra-righna-haras-tasmai.
In the original, this sign of punctuation is here and in several places below denoted by a small circular line. • Metre of this and the two next verses, Upêndravajra.
. At first graha-yugma appears to bave been engraved, which would offend against the metre. But the signs for ai and r seem to have been added afterwards. I would translate the time expressed by a pair, the (four) ages, and the (one) moon, sooompanied by the (nine) planets,' i. e. 1429 ; see below, line 6.
10 At first pau was engraved, but it appears to have been altered to po; the following akshara may have been originally dhá or dhya. Instead of -pathi, one would have expected path. The general meaning of the verse I take to be that Gay, which by Brahman was judged to be a fit place of residence for the gods, also bars the ways to perdition for men. Metre, Indravajrá; and of the next verse.
12 Metre, Upajậti. 13 Metre of this and the two next verses, Upendravajra. There is an hiatus between the first and second Padas of this verse; the first half of the verse, besides, is grammatically incorrect; and the verse, taken as a whole, does not admit of a proper construction.
1 This, though it offends against the metre, appears to be the intended reading the engraver actually put xurdrůra.
16 Originally -nûka was engraved, but the last akshara has been somehow altered. It is not absolutely certain that athal is the true reading intended.
16 Originally puvuse was engraved.
IT Originally Sirasena. was engraved, but the impressions look as if the second akshara had been altered to ri, I take the name to be equivalent to Srisena, line 9, below.
IN These signs of punctuation are superfluous. 10 Here there is what looks like a sign of the avagraha which has been struck out again.
