Notes: 3 urām̃ ◇ uraṅ Cabaton. — rāṣtra ◇ rāṣṭra Cabaton. — 6 aṣṭārdhanalaḥ ◇ ṣaṣṭārthānalaḥ Cabaton; aṣṭārdhānalaḥ Aymonier; aṣṭārdhanalaḥ Finot. The reading of Aymonier was included in an authorial addition to Cabaton 1904: 690, while Finot took the editorial liberty of inserting his own reading in n. 5 on that same page. Although we do not see a long ā-vocalization on the dg, we agree with Finot and Aymonier that it is necessary to understand aṣṭārdha-analaḥ. — ṇrapaḥ ◇ Finot; ṇdapaḥ Cabaton. The same spelling is found in C. 43, face B, l. 4 and 7. Finot’s reading is publised in n. 5 to . — sakram̃tta ◇ pakram̃ttha (?) Cabaton. Cf. C. 43, face A, l. 9 and c, l. 15 and 21; C. 118. — 6-7 tribhavanākrānta ◇ correct tribhuvanākrānta. The same correction is implicit from Cabaton’s translation. — 7 ra jitta ◇ vijitta Cabaton. — kvīra ◇ kvīr Cabaton. — 8 vukam̃n· ◇ vukān Cabaton. — 9 kvīra ◇ kvīr Cabaton.
