v1.c4.10

∗ In the earlier volumes of this series, pages are divided, not invariably, however, into two columns, which are abbreviated thus : Ind. Ant , vol. v (preceded by the name of the article or the inscription), p. 320, C. 1 or 2 (=column 1st or 2nd), para. 1 or 2 (where there is more than one), line, say, 7 (of the para. when it is followed by any, or simply lines to be counted from the top ; in cases where it appeared more convenient, it is stated thus : line 7 from bottom upwards). In the earlier volumes the foot-notes are not marked by the numerical figures, 1, 2, 3 and so forth ; they are indicated by some inconvenient signs, e.g.,*, †, ‡, etc. It was not possible to refer to these notes by any particular name. Some of the inscriptions published in this series have been given three different titles in three places of reference, namely, one in the table of contents, a different one as the heading of the inscription in the body of the volume, and a third one on the top of the pages wherein it is described. Compare, for example, the following :—
(1) Two Praśastis of Nānāka, a court poet of Vīśaladeva of Gujarata (Ind. Ant., vol. xi, contents, at the end of the volume).
(2) Sanskrit Grants and Inscriptions of Gujrat Kings, nos. iii and iv, Praśastis of Nānāka, a court poet of King Vīśaladeva of Gujrat (in the heading of the article, p. 98).
(3) Sanskrit Grants and Inscriptions (on the top of pages 99, 101, 103, 105, 107). I have generally referred to the last named title, i.e., the one occurring on the top of the pages.
