¹ Metre, Śârdûlavikrîḍita. ² Metre, Âryâ; and in the following verse. ³ Metre, Sragdharâ.
⁴ The lower part of the î, and all except the extreme end of the r, either were left unfinished or have been broken away. But enough remains to shew clearly what the akshara really is.
⁵ Metre, Ślôka (Anushṭubh); and in the next verse. ⁶ Metre, Vasantatilaka.
⁷ The metre is faulty here; instead of two long syllables, we ought to have two short and one long.
⁸ Metre, Âryâ. ⁹ Metre, Ślôka (Anushṭubh). ¹⁰ Metre, Śârdûlavikrîḍita.
¹¹ Metre, Âryâ. ¹² Metre, Śârdûlavikrîḍita; and in the next verse.
¹³ Metre, Vasantatilaka; and in the next verse.
