Apparatus

⟨1⟩ diśa° ⬦ divya° VR ? • Cf. the emendation bhūsvātmakīrttaye, which expresses the same meaning, proposed under C. 207. There clearly is no akṣara vya. — ⟨1⟩ campāpurapatī • The edition published No name 1911, p. 472 contained a typographic error campāpūrapatī. All other editions read this word correctly.

⟨cd⟩ raupyaṁ kalaśaṁ ⬦ raupyaḥ kalaśaḥ ? • All other editions read these words correctly, with anusvāra rather than visarga.

⟨d⟩ <symbol> • The punctuation sign was ignored by Rougier and Schweyer.

Translation by Arlo Griffiths

The king of Campāpura [has given] the silver ewer (here) to this illustrious Vanāntareśvara here, for the sake of fame in the quarters of space, from his personal devotion.

Translation into French by Arlo Griffiths

Le roi de Campāpura [a donné] l’aiguière en argent (que voici) à cet illustre Vanāntareśvara-ci, pour la gloire dans les directions de l’espace, de par sa dévotion personnelle.

Commentary

The name Śrī Vanāntareśvara figures elsewhere only in C. 144, but cf. the word vanānthara (sic) in C. 4, face A, l. 4.
