Mirashi reads a halanta Ḍ in l3. Fleet (CII3) talks about "The final ḍ of samrāḍ (or possibly ṭ of samrāṭ)". The character is unclear, but could be ṭ just as easily as ḍ, so why should it be ḍ contrary to expectations? (It is certainly not meant to be in compound with the next word, but as a sort of caseless nominative form.)

--><!--

For śr̥ in l3, Mirashi prints an unclear śri (in devanāgarī, so this is not just a missing dot in transcription). Fleet has śr̥, and this is clear even in my scanned rubbing.

--><!--

Fleet (and following him, Mirashi) says that rjji in l14 was first inscribed as jji and then corrected. I mark this up as substitution (rather than a simple addition of an r) because of the non-linear nature of the correction. In any case, the mātrā for i seems to have been given a little tail to mark off part of the bottom as an r.

--><!--

The editorial addition of sya in l14 is placed in l15 in Fleet's and Mirashi's editions. I prefer to put it in l14 to avoid breaking the word because of an editorial intervention. The text could be OK without it, as a compound, but I agree that the sya would be expected here.

The last line on page 3recto ends about four characters early, and the last two words are spaced out more widely than those in other places. Arriving at a semantic boundary near the end of the page, the scribe was obviously reluctant to start the next bit on this page. Hence I mark this up as a paragraph boundary.

At the beginning of l23, °asmākam mano-dharmma etc could be plausible, but we'd expect ātmano, and, as Mirashi notes, asmābhir instead of asmākam. (Fleet emends to yathaiṣa ātmano, but this can be discarded now that more grants of this type are known.)

--><!--

The second space in l26 is just for the hiatus, i.e. basically punctuation.

--><!--

The first space in l28 is for punctuation.

--><!--

Mirashi emends veṣṭi in l28 to viṣṭi.

--><!--

The second space in l29 is apparently also for punctuation, but this is rather strange inside a compound.

--><!--

As Mirashi notes, cāyaṁ śāsanam in l32 should be corrected to cedaṁ śāsanam or, more in line with parallel texts, to cāsmac-chāsanam.

--><!--

The deleted kuryyā at the end of l32 is noted by Fleet and Mirashi. I cannot see it in the rubbing, though there is something after dhāṁ that may be traces of a k.

--><!--

kārayitā in l33 is more or less grammatically OK, but had better be emended to kārayīta (or kārayed, as per Mirashi).

--><!--

The punctuation sign transcribed as a double daṇḍa in l34 looks like a colon in the facsimile; it is probably a double short dash.

The deleted upadhmānīya in l36 may indicate that ślokau was also initially inscribed as śloka (and perhaps even gītau as gīta?), and the au mātrā was added later.

--><!--

Mirashi prints the anusvāra at the endof l36 as supplied, but it seems to be there in the rubbing, and Fleet transcribes it as original, which I follow.

--><!--

L37. Mirashi prints a daṇḍa after vasundharāṁ, but I do not see a punctuation mark in the facsimile and Fleet doesn't transcribe one. Mirashi may be right nonetheless.

In l42 Mirashi prints (a)patthya; Fleet, correctly, has pathya. The rubbing is clear.

--><!--

In l42 Mirashi prints grāmeṣv as a correction from grāmaśv. The e mātrā is clear (attached to the lower left of the ma) and Fleet does read it.

--><!--

The punctuation sign at the end of l42 is a double vertical. It may have been meant to prevent the addition of further characters, but I can't see why some of the characters that ended up on the next page weren't inscribed here. In any case, the sign is probably a space filler.

--><!--

In the clause set out in l41-43, Mirashi corrects to a-brahma° and a-kurvvatām. In this he basically follows Fleet. I'm not sure, but this doesn't seem quite convincing, and it's hard to take the compound ending with prabhr̥tīnāṁ as referring to the donees (Mirashi translates,"not found guilty of the murder of a Brāhmaṇa" and "do not wage war"). Instead, I'd leave the text as it is (except restoring an anusvāra at the end of saṁgrāmaṁ) and translate, "It (the charter) shall be valid as long as the sun and moon endure, provided that they (the donees) commit no treason against the (anytime current) kings' kingdom consisting of seven components, that they persecute (saṁgrāmaṁ kurvatām) brahman killers, thieves, adulterers and committers of treason and so on, and that they do not harm other villages." *OK, I'm vindicated. This is actually how Sircar reads and interprets this passage (#Sircar_1965:448n1), "And this condition of the charter should be maintained by the Brāhmaṇas and by [future] lords; namely [that the enjoyment of this grant is to belong to the Brāhmaṇas] for so long as the moon and the sun endure, provided that they commit no treason against the kingdom, consisting of 7 constituent parts, of [sucessive] kings; that they are always on hostile terms with slayers of Brāhmaṇas, thieves, adulterers, traitors to the king, etc.; and that they do no wrong to other villages. But, if they act otherwise or assent [to such acts], the king will commit no theft in taking the land away." #Vajpeyi_1985 argues something similar (acknowledged by #Shrimali_1987:40-41).

--><!--

In l44 Fleet simply reads kurvvataḥ, while Mirashi reads kurvvantaḥ, emending to -taḥ. I don't think the reading is nt (the box head seems to have a loop, which is probably what Mirashi read as n). There is, however, a dot that looks like anusvāra above rvva. I believe it is more likely to be the top of the superscript r, with the connecting line invisible in the rubbing.

In the list of names, Mirashi seems to treat the gotra names as in compound with the following name, but since 1. the first gotra name (and perhaps others, e.g. vātsyaḥ in l49, though this visarga is not visible in my rubbing) is a nominative and 2. many gotras are followed by several personal names, all in nominative, I prefer to restore nominatives for each gotra name. (Then again, prabhr̥tayaḥ at the end is certainly compounded to the whole list - but I'm trying to emend to something closest to the original intent, not to something perfectly grammatical.)

--><!--

Mirashi prints the visarga of mātrāryyaḥ in l47 as original; it does not seem to have been there and Fleet prints it as supplied.

--><!--

In l50, bhojaka and devāryya may in fact be two separate names. I follow Fleet and Mirashi in taking them as a single name, but there is a very small space after ka (enough to accommodate a visarga).

--><!--

The spaces in l51 are there at least partly because the rmmā-s of maghaśarmmā and devaśarmmā hang down to this line. Fortuitously (and probably thanks to a bit of clever juggling by the engraver) they also coincide with name boundaries; since many of the other names are also spaced, I mark these up as regular spaces, not ones attributable to descenders.

--><!--

In l54 Mirashi (following Fleet) corrects rudraśaryya to rudraśa[+rmmā]ryya[+ḥ]; I prefer to emend ryya to rmmā, but śarmmāryya is also plausible.

The spaces in l61 are probably occasioned by characters hanging down from the previous line. śāsanam probably would have fitted under re ṣṭā but was moved after them; the 8 would have interfered with the i mātrās of likhita if that word had not been pushed to the right.

The final punctuation sign is a double short dash.
