The Seal. I 
Om ! Hail! the Maharaj-adhiraja, of the illustrious race of the 
lords of Pragjyotisa, the illustrious Ratnapala Varma Deva. 
19 Regarding the identity of the trees in this list, see ante, page 120, footnote 
35. Of the Bhayakama tree I can make nothing, but the aksaras bhayaka are un¬ 
certain. I am unable to identify the Coraka tree. It is commonly identified with 
Trijonella corniculata or Andropogov acicularis ; these, however, are mere plants. 
20 I do not know what sonta means. It corresponds to dandi in the preceding 
clause.
