1) Siribara — cri + bhara "fraught with glory/' 



2) Kaet = kshatriya. 3) kot " pinnacle," comp. perhaps 

 kunta. 



4) Okawas i. e., Pali Okkakavamsa, Skt. Ikshvakuvamsa. 



5) Parapuren instrumental — Ablative from parapura =*= 

 Skt. parampara. 



6) Bat " descended" = bhrashta old Participle from 

 basinawa, bahinawa "to descend," Skt. Vbhramc. 



7) Lak diw poloyon = Lankadvipaprthivyam. I know 

 no analogy to the form poloyon, if it is not instrumental for 

 poloyen — however it is always used in a locative sense. 



8) Ilimi = svamin, old hami, see IV. 29. 9 J wu = bhuta 3 

 see above.
