Notes.
First Plate, Second Side -
This side bears the number 1 in the left margin against line 4. back
L. 2. Read -avаpta- (DNL)
L.3 For the six kinds of abhijга and for different views regarding the meaning of the
word see BD, p. 106 ff.; Prаtihаrya (Pаli paтihаriya) means 'magic' or 'miracle'.
When it is used with darщana or dещanа 'sermon', it signifies the magic of
mindreading. Cf. Dещanа Lоkanаthanам sattvащaya-vaщаnugах of the
Bоdhichittavivaraнa quoted in the Bhаmatи under Br. S. II, ii, 18. For the other two
prаtihаryas see Dharma., p. 32. sect. CXXXIII. Cf. BD., P. 106. See also EI, IX, pp. 54,
56. (SN).
L.4 Abhiprasаda means 'faith'. Cf. Buddha-щаsanаbhiprasаdаrtham (Divyаvadаna,
p.423) (SN).
L.5 Brаhma means 'best'. Cf. Brahmа ti seттha-vachanam. See PED, s.v. See also BD, p.
226 (SN).
L.6 Originally in ащvamеdha - maidha seems to have been written (SN).
L.12 In parigata- originally pu seems to have been written (SN).
Second Plate, Second Side - This side bears number 2 in the margin against line 17 (SN).
L.19 sаtmиbhуta, 'beneficial to oneself'. Cf.Sаtmyam=iti 'аtma-sukhaм yat=karоti
tad=ucyatе (Dаlhaнa's commentary under Suщrutasaмhitа, Ch. XXXI, verse 41) (SN).
L.21 =abhiprajаtаyа : read abhiprajаtayа. cf. the usage щabdam kuryuх prajаtа
prajаtа dhanyaм dhanyaм putram=iti in the Charakasaмhitа, щarиrasthаna, (Chapter
VIII, sect. 40, p. 348). Here in the present record the queen is described to have given
birth under the pretext of a son (suta-chchhalеna) to the very heap of virtues etc.,
bearing the name Mаdhavarаja. Cf. nрpa-chchhalеna kiм Viшнuх daitya-jiшнur=ayaм
svayam in a Kadamba charter (EI, XXXIII, p. 90, verse 5). So here there is no reference to
any adoption of Mаdhavarаja by Vikramеndravarman II (Cf. JIH, XLIII, p. 737). For the
untenable views that this Mаdhavarаja was a son or a cousin brother of
Vikramеndravarman II himself see the Bhаrati, 1967, November p. 37 and JlH, L, p. 5 ff.
(SN).
L.27 -virаjitayа-kaustubhаyamаna- read virаjita-Kaustubhа (SN).
Third Plate, Second Side - This side seems to bear the number 3 against line 30 (SN).
L.28-29 Here the construction Gоvindarаjasya +++ a-viшayиkрta-manоrathаyа with a
s-аpеkшa-samаsa may be compared with a similar construction a-praviштa-viшayasya
rakшasам dvаratаm=agamad=Antakasya tat (Raghu. XI, verse 18). Here the passage in our
record tells us in a poetic way that on account of Paramabhaттаrikа, Gоvindarаja did
not crave for Щrи (goddess Lakшmи) having corporeal body. It is a way of saying
Paramabhaттаrikа was Gоvindarаja's wife. Cf. JIH. XLIII, p. 746 (SN).
L.31 -saмvatsar-aikаdaще : read saмvatsara еkаdaще. Irundово : this name has
been read as Иruндoрo (Bhаrati, 1965 July, pp 6 ff) and as Iruндerо (JIH, Vol.
XLIII, pp. 733 ff.) (SN).
Fourth Plate, Second Side - this side bears the numeral 4 нn the left margin against line
41. back
L.41 Siмh-аhvayaм - this name has been read as Siмhаtyayaм (Bhаrati, 1965, July, p.
12) and Siмhаnvayaм (ibid., 1967, November, p. 38) (SN).
L.43-45 The metres of these two verses (No5-6) are respectively Щаrdуlavikrидita and
Upajаti. The fifth plate of the set is left unengraved (SN).
