1 Here the anusvira is redundant.
* The letter dh here is in fact single, but it looks doubled as compared with the one in Adhishthandd, I. 1, and aradhan., 1. 4. The form in question may be compared with the same letter in dharasya, above Vol. III, pl. facing p. 18, text l. 3.
Here bha is reversed and is engraved upon a partly erased letter which was perhaps tri, while #a is differently shaped from that in -bhaffaraka, 1. 3.
• Sandhi has not been observed here. . Here visarga is superfluous. Read kubalt. • This danda is unnecessary. + There is a superfluous sign after the letter than.
• The Vatsa götra is known to have the following paich-arshya pravara : Jamadagni-Orva-Apnavana-ChyaVana-Bhrigu (see the Golra pravaranibandhakadamba (Bombay edition), p. 25). In the present instance, while Apnavina has obviously been omitted through inadvertence, Orva is replaced by Dairds which is not a wellknown name. In the case of the donee in the Ganjām plates of Jayavarmadēva (who likewise belongs to the Vājasaněya charana, the Kapva bakha and the Vatsa götra), Apnavāna and Orva are substituted by Vates and Dairdda respectively, as he is described to be Vatsa-vat Dairdda-val Bhrigu-nat Ja(Ja)madagni-val Chyavana-volpancha-pravar-atmaka (see Ind. Hist. Quart., Vol. XII, plate facing p. 492, text 11. 23-24).
. These dandas are unnecessary. 10 Read bhatta-Nanatakarmmane. 11 Better read -purahaarams. 12 Read pratipadito.. 1. There is a superfluous sign of final after the syllable lah. 14 Here d is redundant. Read dharmma..
