⟨3⟩ pādānudhyāta⟨ḥ⟩∥ ⬦ pādānudhyāta{∥} Sh • Unlike Shastri 1995, I consider that this word forms the end of a compound describing Someśvara and thus resolves the inconsistency in the coronation name suggested by Shastri 1995, p. 322, n. 56. This understanding of the passage was already suggested by Misra 1931, p. 6.

<note>Unlike <bibl><ptr target="bib:Shastri1995_02"/></bibl>, I consider that this word forms the end of a compound describing Someśvara and thus resolves the inconsistency in the coronation name suggested by <bibl><ptr target="bib:Shastri1995_02"/><citedRange unit="page">322</citedRange><citedRange unit="note">56</citedRange></bibl>. This understanding of the passage was already suggested by <bibl><ptr target="bib:Misra1931_01"/><citedRange unit="page">6</citedRange></bibl>.</note>
