## Apparatus

⟨14⟩ vuṣṭi • The editors note that this word should be read as vuṭṭi.

## Commentary

The inscription contains at its top the depiction of an animal that may
be a boar or a bull. It is stated in RRM that “the slab has been broken
irregularly as a result of which the first five lines have lost a number
of letters along the right margin and lines 7-15 have lost a few letters
along the left margin” ([1981] 1971–1972, p. 157). Hence, the number of
dots in the edition is not indicative of any definite number of akṣaras
and have not been reproduced here.
