[Vol. X. 



page 68, Inscription 7) is the building to the west of the 

 Heta Dage. 



Nissanka daladd geya. This may be the building 

 known as the Dalada Maligawa at the present day ; but I do 

 not think so, as that building appears to me to be in a far 

 purer and simpler style than Nissanka Malla admired. 



Werawaesun. I am not at all sure about the translation 

 of this word. 



3. — Inscription on the series of Slabs on the right of the 

 Inner Entrance to the Heta Dage.
