Remarks on the reading of the Text, 
I will now discuss the points in which my reading differs 
from Babu R. D. Banerji’s 
In the first place, this inscription makes no distinction 
between 6 and v, but has vin every case. He transcribes the 
v sometimes as b and sometimes as v; thus for instance, he tran- 
scribes the word vahavahk (1. 9) as bahavah as it should be in 
correct Sanskrit. It is always desirable that a transcript 
should be accurate, but apart from that, this point is of some 
importance. The use of the character for v in all cases 
(whether the proper sound should be 6 or whether it should be 
v in correct Sanskrit), even in the word vrahmana (ll. 11 and 
14) shews that (subject to the qualification mentioned below) 
no distinction was ordinarily observed bet ween these two letters, 
and that Sanskrit 6’s and v’s were uniformly pronounc 
was composed. Hence it appears that “id The cies
