¹ The form of superscript î that we have here, is somewhat different from that which occurs
throughout the rest of this inscription.—In line 7 of the next inscription, page 245 below, this syllable
has the short vowel i, as is optionally allowable.
² The engraver first formed hi, and then partially cancelled the i. Probably the man who wrote
the copy from which he engraved, had hesitated between hit-âgata and pâtr-âgata.—The form of
superscript i used here, was not of general use till somewhat later times. But, in the present inscrip-
tion, it occurs again distinctly twice in ti, in line 16, in ni, line 21, and twice in vi, line 23; and in
other places; and, in many other instances throughout the inscription, there is a tendency to form it
in the same way.
³ The engraver first formed jji, and then corrected it into rjji.
⁴ The engraver first formed skâ, and then partially cancelled the s.
⁵ We have to supply parimitâḥ, or some similar word, after this instrumental case.
