mark @ and the word is vyavaharatah. It is however probably 
amistake for vyavaharatah. 
Line'7. He reads éurada; the first letter however is not 
§u which occurs in Sucipaliia in this line, but is va as is seen 
in évapadair (1. 13); though perhaps it may be intended for 
ca which we find in vyavaha(ri)naé-ca (1. 9) and pascimayam 
(1. 19). The second letter resembles ra, but appears to have 
two dots on its left which suggest that it may be some other 
consonant unfinished ; and further it seems to have some in- 
distinct vowel marks above it. The third letter is much 
blurred; so much as is clear suggests da, but it may be some 
other consonant and seems to have r or m written over it. I 
transcribe it as évarada, but feel certain it is really something 
different, though I cannot suggest any emendation. 
Tine 8. Babu R. D. Banerji reads Priyadatta, but the d 
has the vowel @, and the word is really Priyadatta, though it 
should no doubt be Priyadaita. He reads kundadaya, but 
there is a visarga after it, and the reading is kundadayah. 
Line 9. L agree with him that vyavahanasé is a mistake for 
vyavaharinas. It is merely a clerical error such as is common 
in grants. 
Line 10. The reading is not khandalaka but khandalakam, 
because there is an anusvara above and a little to the right of 
the k. He reads pravarttaniya, but the word written is pra- 
vartianiya, for the n is dental and its vowel is ¢ and not 1 as 
will be seen on comparing these vowels in other words. The 
word sl ould be pravarttaniya. 
Line 11. The reading is not brahmanopaya gayaca but 
nopayogaya ca, for the first y has clearly above it @ 
leftward stroke which with the @ stroke forms 0, though its 
_ significance is somewhat marred in that it joins the bottom of 
the letter nna in the line above. He reads tad arham [yaltha, 
but the words are tad arhatha, for the h has only a superscript 
r and not an anusvara in addition, and the th has no vowel @- 
Arhatha is the second person plural of the present tense of arh. 
He reads the last word as katra, but it is kattu. The difference s 
between conjunct 7 and the vowel u is seen on comparing sailra 
(I. 10) with anwmoditaka (1. 4) and catuh (1. 16), but the full 
curve of the w in kattu is marred because it is on the edge of 
the plate. The whole word (if we complete it by reading 0? 
into |. 12) is kattum iti, which is an error for karttum iti. There 
must be an infinitive here after the verb arhatha. dh 
Line 12. The reading is not yata dhanad but yata enad, és 
and ¢ being much alike. Hnad is the accusative case singular 
etad in the neuter. He reads sam tho, but the word is éamiho ; 
the sibilant being clearly §. This must be read with 
following letters as Samthoparilikhita’, that is, samtha + uparr 
likhita>. At the end of the line came some word, which beg®” 
with @ (so as to produce Wikhita® by Sandhi), and had probably 
h the
