## Apparatus

⟨6⟩ ku (sa?) [2+] ⬦ ku [3+] GC. — ⟨6⟩ premāvali I • The numeral I looks
like a visarga.

⟨9⟩ ku muliḥ • Comparing this case with the name Premāvali in line 6,
the term maliḥ should be understood as mali I.

⟨12⟩ v(r)os· ⬦ Ār· GC.

## Commentary

The name sra kuṇḍalā appears also in K. 9.
