I am not sure if I understand cācapī. FN. 5 here says, probably with reference to (pi): "Superfluous." This probably means that the ()s here mean: deleted by the editor. The [general] Ed. adds: "Or perhaps APICA is meant."

--><!--

BD: I'm not sure what the "superfluous" is meant to apply to, but I think it concerns the whole cācapī thing, which the editor suggests may have been meant for api ca. I think both are wrong, and we have the queen's name here. (I have no idea if the name of this guy's queen is attested anywhere - I may be completely wrong.) Both the c-s in cācapī could well be v-s (actually I think v is more likely than c), and the p could be ṣ, though p is more likely. We may or may not have ca between mama and the beginning of c. Neither combination yields a very convincing name, but perhaps mama+ca+āvuṣī is the least implausible.

BD: FYI. This is very interesting, I've never seen the like. The reading aśulkaiḥ is incorrect (but since that's what the editor reads, your text is fine, except that I'd use minimal correction). It's actually aśuklaḥ, and in addition to what looks like an ai mātrā, there's also a curving line below it. I think that these curves above and below the character must have been proofreader's marks, meaning that kla should be inverted to lka. (Please leave my note in your final version.)

BD: The correction of kaści lobhād is a tricky one, and subjective. I would probably just add an l BEFORE the original l, but possibly I'd put the whole of kaści (which I would not space, like kiñcid above) within the correction, along with the whole of lobhād. Or, to vacillate further, perhaps I would correct by adding a halanta T after kaścit, assuming that the original scribe had intended that, without saṁdhi.

TODO One verse in āryā metre from aikādaśetha below,

(how to separate it?)

but svamukhājñāyā- should be retained (original/authentic?)

- - . - . - - - . . - - . . . . - - - 30

. . - . - . . . - . . . . - - . - - . 26/27

--><!--

BD: This is a bit messy, but some of the mess is the editor's.

2. He is wrong, the correct reading is ekādaśe (with full vowel e), not caikādaśe. The yā, which is above the e, may perhaps go here (as an introduction before the verse), but I think that is unlikely. All interlinear corrections so far have been BELOW, not ABOVE the place where they go. I can't find a good place for yā in the previous line, but I still think that is more likely than that it belongs in this line. Perhaps the intended reading was madhuka-latikayā, i.e. this yā goes with the kā preceding it, and that kā was meant to be ka.

4. IMPORTANT. The verse needs full verse markup as per the input guide.

6. For svamukhājñāyā, type and mark up the original and the correction as you would normally (correcting only the wrong ā to a). The original is unmetrical, but that is OK. ALSO, yā is an insertion below the line and needs markup. (Ah, now I see. It is what the general editor notes, saying it looks like sā. The text's editor just printed yā, forgetting to note that it's below; the journal editor noted that there's something below, but didn't notice that there is no yā in the line.)

BD: I disagree with the editor about emending taḥ to tā: he only does that because he wants to read yā at the beginning of this verse. Reading that yā elsewhere (even if I don't know where) also makes it unnecessary to emend here.
