Notes

  1. 1. There is a mistake in the date, as Śaka 1458 corresponds to the Manmatha year, and the Nandana year to Śaka 1455. See No. 123.
  2. 2. Compare Mārgasahāyeśvara in No. 58 and Margasahāya-liṅga in No. 140.
  3. 3. Bodhāyana is the southern form of Baudhāyana; see page ix of the preface of my edition of Baudhāyana’s Dharmaśāstra, Leipzig, 1884.
