Read jalan.
Observe the wrong sandhi (for sansard-sdran).. . This sign of punctuation is superfluous. • Metre of vernes 10 and 11: Sragdharå.
Read "kari and janma I.
• The th of the akshara athd is not quite clear, but there seems to be no doubt that the above is the actus and intended reading. One would have expected -paribhavasthanan, but this would not have suited the metre.
This sign of punctuation is superfluous. Hore a syllable, perhaps vai, has been omitted.
Here, again, observe the wrong samdhi for which the metre shows the author to be responsible ; sprihayanna would have offended against the metre.
10 Bend -aihikinn dharmma-kerttin; one misses s second cha. 11 I can only suggest that desanto may stand for desanta, i.e. desdntah, disantar, 'in (this) country.' 13 After this words short syllable is missing ; perhaps the reading should be trdn-qa-janapada..
1 The worda võ=stu cannot be construed with the preceding. The author had in his mind the phrase viditan arts.
14 Metre : Śårddiavikridita.
1 Mr. Dhruvs read this Maitapati niodiya, which he translated by while encamped at Maitapata.'Compare dhauta-odeagl paridhdya in line 19 of B., and, e.g., in Ind. Ant. Vol. XVIII. p. 847, L 7 of the text. 10 Read dattudhatth. 17 Read Marttauhdasya.
8 Read drghanjali. Dadana in the sense of dang. 20 Metre: Aryk.
11 Kend tila kusátshatódaka-. The ka of data is treated a short syllable before pr; see Ind. Studien, Vol. VIII. p. 224.
** The metre, in my opinion, shows that the author undoubtedly wrote this; what he intended was pasadya. pasih (dakshina-pdmih).
# Wrong for Gnads, or, better, Atada.
