INSCRIPTION OF KHĀRAVELA
to the rule of the Sandhi, Jayaswal finally abandons the reading -opahitena in favour of -opapitena.
9. Prinsep reads Kalamgadhapatira, and Cunningham Kalimgadhipati ca, both of which are incorrect.
10. Prinsep reads sikhiravalonam, and Cunningham, sikara-varabelena.
11. Indraji reads kumāra, which is evidently an oversight. Jayaswal in his revised reading, accepts Prinsep's kadāra, in preference to his former reading kadārā.
12. Indraji reads kidakā. Cunningham omits da through mistake. 13. Jayagwal's former reading was rupa.
14. Prinsep reads vavapära and Cunningham, varepāra. Jayaswal adopts vavakāra, giving up his former reading vevahāra. Locke's cast has ve, and I see no harm in reading vevahāra.
15. Canningham reads tijāvadātenn-i, which is fantastic. 16. Prinsep reads vasānā, and Cunningham, vasati, both of which are incorrect.
17. Prinsep reads hovaraja ; Cunningham, yovaraja; Indraji, hovarajam; Jayaswal, correctly yovarajam.
18. Prinsep reads pamsāsiya(sa), separating sa from Sampuna following: Canning. ham, pamsāsiyam. Indraji and Jayaswal read pasāsitam. But the first letter which is somewhat fissured seems to be va rather than pa.
19. Prinsep reads puna, separating it from sam preceding. Cunningham is the first to read sampuna.
20. Prinsep reads cava-vīsati, also visati ; Cunningham, catuvimsati. Jayaswa! reads catuvīsati, correcting his former reading catubisati.
21. Prinsep reads vase; Cunningham, vase(su). Indraji correctly vaso.
22-23. Prinsep reads dānavadhamena, which is accepted by Cunningham and Indraji. Jayaswal reads tadāni-vadhamāna, correcting his former reading ti aana cu dhamena. I am also inclined to read samāna for tadāni.
24. Indraji reads vijaya. Jayaswal in his revised reading, accepts Prinsep's yovenabhivijayo, suggesting that the e-mark in ve is the result of an abrasion. Jayaswal finally reads sesayo Venābhivijayo, taking Venäbhivijayo to mean "a conqueror like Vena, a Vedic personality."
25. Indraji reads vatiye. Others read tative. 26. Indraji reads vamsa ; Jayagwal, vamsa, correcting vamse. 27. Jayaswal finally reads mähā. 28. Cunningham reads pāpenāti. Others read päpunāti.
