c14.s2.5

Line 1: *saṃvatśaraye*: The ligature in the third *akṣara* may also be read as *tsa* (cf. section 2.3.4); Sircar so reads. Line 4: *ṣṇuṣaehi*: The consonantal portion of the first syllable is written as *ṣ* with a diacritic line above, representing *ṣṇ* (see 2.3.8). Line 4: *ayarieṇa*: Perhaps to be corrected to *ayariaṇa* = *ācāryāṇām* (Konow, EI 21, 253); or possibly the original draft had *ayarieṇa ayariaṇa ya* . . . , and the engraver omitted the second word haplographically. Line 5: *sarva[sva]tvaṇa*: Evidently miswritten for *sarvasatvaṇa*; the third *akṣara* appears blurred in the photograph, perhaps as a result of an attempt to correct it.
