¹ Read bāvā, in accordance with line 46 of the grant of the next generation after this, that of
Śīlāditya IV. of the year 372 (Ind. Ant. Vol. V. p. 212; and Archæol. Surv. West. Ind. Vol. III.
p. 99); with lines 45 and 46 of the two grants of Śīlāditya V. of the year 403 (Jour. Bo. Br. R. As.
Soc. Vol. XI. p. 343; and Indian Inscriptions, Nos. 15 and 16); and with the explanation that I give
below, on the translation of this passage.—In line 51 of the grant of Śīlāditya VI. of the year 441
(Ind. Ant. Vol. VI. p. 20), the reading is bappa, as here, wrongly.—In line 51 of the grant of Śīlādi-
tya III. himself of the year 352 (id. Vol. XI. p. 309), the whole passage between paramamāhēśvaraḥ
and śrī-Śīlādityadēvaḥ, including both the reference to bāva and his own regal titles, is omitted.
² Several words are omitted before this. The full reading is tasya sutō=para-pṛithvī-
nirmmāṇa-vyavasāy-āsādita-pāramaiśvaryyaḥ.
³ Read chūḍāmaṇi-mayūkha.
⁴ Read praṇata-prabhūta.
⁵ Read diśôsha.
⁶ Read paramabhaṭṭāraka-mahārājādhirāja.
⁷ This epithet is repeated unnecessarily, as we have already had it in the preceding line.
⁸ Metre, Vasantatilaka; and in the following three verses.
