Notes

2. jayanāga: this name has been read jayanāśa (see e.g. Kartakusuma 1993). The occurrence of the name Jayanāga in contemporary Indian dynasties (see Davidson, my notes in back of book) however strongly argues for reading that same name here. The difference between the akṣaras ś and g is generally small and is indistinguishable here.

2. Cœdès misreads ñiyur pinaṁ.

3. Cœdès misreads rumviya and misses the punctuation after it.

6. Cœdès misreads maṁhidupi, and pīḍanu svapna.

7. Cœdès misreads kavuatanāña. Read di ya?

9. Cœdès reads lāgi cūri, entirely omitting jāṅan·, then reads uccavadhāña, adding in a note “Le texte semble porter ici ucci vadhāñca”. Cœdès further misreads marvvaṅun (the same form occurs with short a in the next line).

9-10. Cœdès assumes loss of two syllables and prints maitrī - - dhāri. I feel it is more likely that only one syllable was lost, if any, namely the one at the start of l. 10. But can we perhaps read cāri (and assume no loss of syllables)?

11. It seems that samāhitaci(t)ta would also be a possible reading. The basic consonant of the last akṣara is almost entirely lost, so that both nta and tta are acceptable, although the first does seem more likely on the basis of what remains. Cœdès misreads medhāvi, and gives mahāsattva, whereas this text is more likely to have spelt the word with single t.

12. Cœdès reads rūpa. The first akṣara seems simply to be ru. Cœdès misreads halap. The Ā in Ādeyavākya is entirely gone, if it was ever actually written.

14. Cœdès reads anuttarābhisamyaksaṁvodhi. It seems that Anuttarātisamyaksaṁvodhi would also be a reading permitted by the stone. The closing symbols, including triple dots enclosed in daṇḍas, closely resemble those of the Kota Kapur inscription.
