1848.] Note on the Inscriptions from Singapur, fyc. 71 



Of the remaining inscriptions furnished hy Col. Low the first set 

 (A) are in Pali, and are represented in figs. 1 to 7 of Plate IV. 

 Figs. 1 and 2 seem to form a continuous sentence, ^«q ^aFTfj^l f^WV

 Babu Rajendralal Mittra has been good enough to supply the follow- 

 in £ Sanscrit and English version. 



Translation. 



" I acknowledge the enemies of the contented king Ramaunibha and 

 the wicked are ever afflicted." 



The inscriptions marked B were published by Prinsep in the 4th 

 volume of the Journal from Col. Low's own fac similes, but without any 

 attempt to translate them. The drawings, and especially the admirable 

 clay impressions now sent, enable us to decypher the character without 

 any difficulty and to supply a correct fac simile of the original. This 

 method of taking impressions has I believe been employed by Capt. 

 Kittoe also. It answers admirably ; and though it represents the cha- 

 racters inverted, this inconvenience is met by observing their reflexion 

 in a looking glass. The subjoined versions are likewise supplied by 

 Babu Rajendralal : 



Fig. 8. 



'■' This is said by Mannikatha, the protector of all great Buddhas." 

 Fig. 9. 



" In every form of life knowledge becomes manifest every where and 

 in every way." 

 Fig. 10. 



" (That) Karma (religious action originating in the hope of recom- 

 pense) which sports with passion, is the cause of transmigration." 



Fig. 11 is mutilated and unintelligible. 



Of the monagrams upon the Tookoon rock and upon bricks, we can 

 make nothing, but we give fac similes of them in the plate. 



The Sanscrit lines (C) on the brass ornamented dish, are as follow : 



"Savita, 1399."
