¹ From the original seal.
² This part of the name is quite illegible; but the analogy of the other names seems to indicate that the termination here was the same, viz. vardhana.
³ These two aksharas, mahâ, are very indistinct; but I think they may be accepted as certain.
⁴ These three aksharas, varddhanaḥ, are rather small and cramped, in the centre of the bottom of the seal.
⁵ See note 2 above.
⁶ paramasaugata is a Buddhist sectarian title. Sugata, lit. ‘well-gone; well-bestowed; one who has attained a good state,’ was one of the names or titles of Buddha.
