______________________________________________________________________
Commentaries and variants.
L.1 SI start from - [oм].
L.2 The Poona plates have guptаdirаjo.
L.3 Gupte: -dohitro.
L.11 SI щata(tа); the facsimile shows the medial и (long) clearly in
Prabha(bhа)vatи.
L.14 Read brаhmaнаnам saputrаputrанам.
L.15 ca is superfluous.
L.16 SI - pratibaddhаni, read ucitам c-аsya.
L.17 SI -vedya- in -cаturvidyа-; read maryyаdам vitarаmaх . SI -
maryyаdа(parihаrа)n=vitarаmaх.
L.18 To akaradаyи(yi) - these and following expressions should be in the Neutr.
and Sg. so as to agree with kшetraм. See bhuktakаbhoga-kшetraм in line 16 above;
SI - ch(а)tra, prаveщya[х*], sandoha[х*]; Gupte read sandauha.
L.19 SI - carmmакgаra[х*]; kha(а)naka[х*].
L.20 SI - parihрta[х*], SI - the same as sanidhiх sopanidhiх.
L.21 SI -kаlиya[х*], -paitrаnugаmи, in note: read - pautrа-.
L.26 SI read -аdhi(bhi)yoga- without bhi.
L.27 SI not read duplicated ji. It is right (DNL); SI(note) read:
-tаnavarttamаnаnа- (reference - mixed).
L.29 read duшkрtam || iti | .
L.30 SI: read rаjyaм praщаsataх (or rаjya-praщаsana) saмvatsare (or saммvatsare)
ekonaviмщatitame. The form viмщatima (as also similar forms found in the prakrit
records) can be supported if we suggest viмщatiх mа (=mаnaм) yasya
saх=viмщatimaх. Read rаjyaм praщаsataх saмvatsare, ekonaviмщatitame.
L.31 Gupte gives this name as vevanandasvаmи in both his articles, but the reading is clearly as above; SI - read lиkhitа.
L.32 SI - read prabhusiкghena (note: read - likhitа) and -siмhena. Gupte -
likhitaм.
