______________________________
From photographic copies of the illustrations appearing with Siddhanta's paper in the Bакglа Academy Patrikа. The minor errors in Siddhanta's transcript have not been noticed here. (D.Ch.S.)
L. 2. (For -аdиn=pradhаna) Siddhanta: -dиnya(va)dhаna.(D.Ch.S.)
L. 3. The plural number (bоdhayanti) seems to be due to the fact that the adhikaraнa consisted of many members. See Sircar, Sel. Ins., Vol. I, 1965, p. 352, note 4. Siddhanta reads Puндravarddhanеya and regards Kшеmаka as an epithet of Bhоyila in the sense of Щaiva.(D.Ch.S.)
L. 4. (For Mahиdаsа-viha) read -dаsas=tair=iha. Siddhanta: -dаsо iha. The author of the record thought of the dual number probably because Bhоyila and Mahиdаsa were residents of the same place while Kшеmаka was the inhabitant of a different locality.(D.Ch.S.)
L. 5. (For -Yaщоviшнu-) Sandhi has not been observed here.(D.Ch.S.)
L. 7. Read Nаrаyaнa- (for -Nаrayaнa-). The letter ra (for rе) was originally omitted and is incised at a lower level. Sandhi has not been observed here (-Guha-). (D.Ch.S.)
L. 9. (For н-а[к]щaka) read -н-амщakе. Siddhanta: -неna щaka. (For (. . .=kа)ritaka-)[The reading seems to be kаritak-оpаtta.-Ed.] (?)(D.Ch.S.)
L. 10. (For kаritaka-)[The reading seems to be kаritak-оpаtta.-Ed.](D.Ch.S.)
L. 11. The word (-phuттa) is sometimes found in the Sanskrit form sphuтita.(D.Ch.S.)
L. 12. (For vyаm=apratikara-) better read -nиvyа a- . (For dиnаriky-аpratika[ra-]-) better read -rikyо=pratikara-(D.Ch.S.)
L. 13 (For =аsmаbhir=hastаd=) read -аsmаkaм hastаd.- (For -Yaщоdаmayоr=) read -dаmnо.(D.Ch.S.)
L. 15. (For dиnаriky-а[pra]tikara-) better read -rikyо=pratikara-(D.Ch.S.)
L. 16. (For Mahi(hи)dаsayоr=hastаt=) read -dаsаnам ha-.(D.Ch.S.)
L. 17. (For dvayam=еtat=) better read -dvayеna kшеtram-еtat-. (Ащк щrava(ma)нak-аchаrya- ) Siddhanta: Щravaнakа chаsyа.(D.Ch.S.)
L. 18. Read dеvakula. Siddhanta: tatraivо[lli]khitakulaм.(D.Ch.S.)
L. 19. (For kаritam=) read krиta. Siddhanta: kаritasthityеta. (For pуrvv-оttatta) this tta is redundant. Siddhanta: pуrvоttattarам prа-.(D.Ch.S.)
L. 20. (For [pах] rddе) read . . . . vаpa еkaх. Siddhanta: ttrata(tatra)kula. (likhyamatra) read likhyatе=ёtra.(D.Ch.S.)
L. 21 (For Nаbhraka-sataka) Siddhanta: Nаguka; but cf. gu in Gulma- and Guha. In this expression, sataka may be Sanskrit svatvaka (proprietary right), Nаbhraka-svatvaka meaning 'Nаbhraka's property'. (For mа . . . . . . ta-ku-) Siddhanta: Nagоkarшaнaka.(D.Ch.S.)
L. 22. The expression used in such a context (kаlaм) is often yathа-kаla-bhаvinaх, yathа-sambadhyamаnakаn, etc. See Sircar, Indian Epigraphy. pp. 16 ff.; above Vol. XXXV, pp. 287 ff. 28 4 (-patayayaх) Read -patayaх. The akshara vi, originally forgotten, is written below the line. (D.Ch.S.)
L. 24. (For -nиvy=аnu-) read -nиvy=anu-.(D.Ch.S.)
L. 30. Read Susiмhеna iti. Siddhanta: tаpi(tapa)-nештasiкhana miti. (D.Ch.S.)
