i Observe the hiatus. * Ed. has Vasudevah; but I suspect that the original had odsudhayam (wrongly for vasudhdydm). * Ed. has Tasyadimajo ondualaya-pratishthah frf-Nathaghoshi dritavdn vardnya).
• Here this name might be read Vandhuka; but in the Bharunda inscription of Parmapala the name is quite clearly Dhandhuka. The same name occurs in Nos. 210 and 689 of my Northern List. In a paper on the Chahaminns of Naddals I shall show that Dhandhu also occurs, as another form of the name.
The reading is clear, but offends against the metre. Perhaps we should read vfpdnivishtd., where (ns in the case of the first d of Parnná pála- in 1. 7) the final a would have been wrongly lengthened.
* This wrong form (for ndma) is clear in the original, and required by the metre. Ed. has bhdran. 1 Ed. has bharyya Ghritad&vi-ndmnt.
# This is quite clear in the original, Ed., instead of it, has tasmdd-amwahydrh bhwei. I consider it quite possible that the author really wrote utpannam-asy-down in the sense of 'as his son there was born,' incredible as this may seem to be.
. Read tattrdir. Ed. has vijitya ráshtran namd 'pi bhdtan valadarpadati. 10 Metre: Drutavilambita. 11 Read, perhaps, svakucha or sukuchao. Ed. has karapada manibhishitavinaya. 12 Metre: Sirdúlavikridita. w The aksharas na rand are engraved below the line. # For the sake of the metre for Pdrmpapala.. Ed. has purnah Palakula-pradipa ivayd. 15 Observe the hiatus, 19 Metre of verses 11-15: Indravajra, Upendravajrk and Upajati. 17 For the sake of the metre for -bhdbhuja. 18 Ed. has yo dunsvasauryyárjjitabadyafasyon Kastfarah. 1 Read uddhritya. The following udiman (for våfma) is clear in the original, and required by the metre. 20 Ed. has sandyo norair-yo.
11 Ed. has Vallabhardja-bhepat-Chardapi.
