## Edition

1. Anuṣṭubh

⟨1⟩ vanāntareśvarāyāsmai
śrīmate diśakīrttaye
campāpurapatī raupyaṁ
kalaśaṁ śraddhayātmanaḥ ||

## Apparatus

⟨1⟩ diśa° ⬦ divya° VR Schweyer 1999 • Cf. the emendation
bhūsvātmakīrttaye, which expresses the same meaning, proposed under C.
207. There clearly is no akṣara vya. — ⟨1⟩ campāpurapatī • The edition
published No name 1911, p. 472 contained a typographic error
campāpūrapatī. All other editions read this word correctly.

⟨cd⟩ raupyaṁ kalaśaṁ ⬦ raupyaḥ kalaśaḥ Schweyer 1999 • All other
editions read these words correctly, with anusvāra rather than visarga.

⟨d⟩ || • The punctuation sign was ignored by Rougier and Schweyer.

## Translation

The king of Campāpura ⟨has given⟩ the silver ewer (here) to this
illustrious Vanāntareśvara here, for the sake of fame in the quarters of
space, from his personal devotion.

## Translation into French

Le roi de Campāpura ⟨a donné⟩ l’aiguière en argent (que voici) à cet
illustre Vanāntareśvara-ci, pour la gloire dans les directions de
l’espace, de par sa dévotion personnelle.

## Commentary

The name Śrī Vanāntareśvara figures elsewhere only in C. 144, but cf.
the word vanānthara (sic) in C. 4, face A, l. 4.
