orginal medial consonant because it is generally retained in the palm-leaf Ms.
which is older and is elided in the paper Ms. which is dated later. 8. R = Retention; V = Voicing or devoicing, E = Elision of occlusion 9. It is to be reminded that Jacobi has noted down variants in the foot-notes
whereas Schubring has not done so. On the other hand the latter has noted down variants in the case of the text of Isibhāsiyāim, L. D. Institute of Indology, Ahmedabad, 1974 A.D.
