Apparatus

⟨A1⟩ n¿ra?⟨r̥⟩pater ⬦ nr̥pater S.

⟨A3⟩ supr̥thagbhāvādikarmmodyamaḥ ⬦ supr̥thag bhāvādi karmmo dyamaḥ S.

⟨A4⟩ nānādānamakhotsavas ⬦ nānādānamalotsavas S • With note indicating that one would have to read mahotsavas; being based on a wrong reading, we may forget this proposal. — ⟨A4⟩ śiva(sth)[e] ⬦ śiva[1+] S.

⟨A5⟩ padāny apy ātmānam ⬦ sadānyapyātmānam S. — ⟨A5⟩ ayan tato ⬦ ayantato S • With note indicating that one would have to read ayatnata, which is ungrammatical and anyhow unnecessary. — ⟨A5⟩ dhikataras ⬦ dhikat[v]aṁ S • Her proposition was unmetrical.

⟨A6⟩ karaśelavilair ⬦ karaśailavilair S • It is possible that the little stroke below the vocalization of what we read as śe is indeed intended to make it śai, in which case it would have to be noted how differently the two cases of ai-vocalization in this compound have been written. We prefer to assume the mentioned little stroke is accidental, and to observe the inconsistency of orthography rather than of the shape of signs.

⟨B1⟩ yam̃ṅ· ⬦ năṅ S.

⟨B4⟩ bhāva ni(m̃) ⬦ bhāvani S.

⟨B5⟩ -kulā(vdhi)ma ⬦ (kulāgdhima) S • Read -kulāgama or -kulāvdhimada?

⟨B7⟩ Upak ⬦ ra pak S. — ⟨B7⟩ Udā(sī)na suhetu (du)nan(·) kmaiṅ· ⬦ ra rā [2+] puho ṅa [2+] kmeṅ S.

⟨B8⟩ (t)ra ⬦ trā S.

⟨B9⟩ makmaim̃ ⬦ makmĕ S. — ⟨B9⟩ nīrvvāṇapada ⬦ nīivvāṇapada S • Typing error? — ⟨B9⟩ (ta/ku) yam̃ ⬦ kaya S. — ⟨B9⟩ Ajarā maraṇa kaivalya ⬦ [1+] jārāparaṇa kevala|| S.

⟨C1⟩ nirvvikāraparamānandana ⬦ (nirvvitā ra pamo)nandana S.

⟨C3⟩ Udāsīna sā ⬦ [1+]dāsīna ha S.

⟨C9⟩ tapasmī ⬦ tapasvī S • The intended meaning is no doubt tapasvī, but the stone clearly reads tapasmī. — ⟨C9⟩ bhikṣu ⬦ bhiksu S.

⟨C10⟩ hīnadīnānātha ⬦ hinadīnānāta S.

⟨D1⟩ vijai ⬦ vije S.

⟨D3⟩ 972 ⬦ 279 S • The fact that AVS misrepresents the order of the numbers also in her edition of C. 156 in the same article suggests this is no accident. — ⟨D3⟩ pratiṣṭhā ⬦ pratiṣṭā S.

⟨D4⟩ nan·vvana ⬦ nanvvan S • The word navvan occurs several times in the corpus. We seem to have a spelling mistake for that word.

⟨D5⟩ sāna ya ⬦ sānaya S. — ⟨D5⟩ mahāsenāpati ⬦ mahāsenāpatī S. — ⟨D5⟩ na[n·] ṅan· hr̥ rūpa sukūla ⬦ na [4+] pa su kūla S • Understand hr̥ as hrī, sukūla as sukula.

⟨D6⟩ tyāga karuṇā pa[1+] ⬦ tyāga [5+] S.

⟨D7⟩ [2+] pi [1+] ⬦ ra[.]i si [1+] S. — ⟨D7⟩ śilapaḥ _ | kāla ⬦ sila [3+] pa [4+] kāla S • Inspection of the stone suggests that no akṣaras were ever written where AVS supposes lacunae.

⟨D8⟩ ri phap· drim̃ ṅan· ⬦ di [1+]p· drĭ […] S.

Translation by Arlo Griffiths and Salomé Pichon

Commentary

(C10) Inspection of the stone shows that no sign is missing at the beginning of this lign, but that an irregularity of the stone explains the shift of the margin.

(D9–D10) AVS has not read these lines.
