| References | First reported in Prinsep 1838b. Facsimile published in Jacob 1844 (probably an eye copy, but my digital version lacks the plate; Jacob describes it as "most carefully compared, the joint labour of Mr. Westergard, a young Brahman protegé of mine, and myself"). Edited in Bhau Daji 1863b, with a cloth tracing made in 1861 by Bhagwanlal Indraji. Burgess 1875: 17-18 describes a failed attempt to take an estampage. Burgess 1876 also prints Indraji's cloth tracing (plate XV), along with Bhau Daji's transliteration (pp. 134-136) and translation (revised by Eggeling, pp. 136-138), also summarising (p. 30) a local legend that mentions Cakrapālita, Parṇadatta and Skandagupta. Critically edited in Fleet 1888. Correction proposed in Agrawal 1941: 59. See also, Bühler 1891: 220-223, Sharma 1948-49 and Pandey 1962: 92-99. |
