Commentary

The text follows the re-reading of N. Lakshminarayan Rao in 1948, p. lviii of the edition of J. Ramayya Pantulu in 1948, p. 340, № 632. N. Lakshminarayan Rao consulted the impression for his re-reading (1948, p. xxxv) but did not provide a picture of it. The dots used in the edition to indicate lost or unintelligible characters can not clearly be attributed to a certain quantity of characters (one dot may indicate one or more lost or unintelligible characters). N. Lakshminarayan Rao’s reading arivajamunṟu might be a mistake for arivarajamunṟu.

Bibliography
