² Kielhorn read with doubts viśvāsāt. I think, what was intended was viśeṣāt. An expression like guṇa-viśvāsāt will be meaningless in Sanskrit, guṇa must be present, and here it had already come from culture. No question of 'confidence' arises. This adhigata-guṇa-viś(eṣa) corresponds to guṇaviśeṣa-kuśalo in the Hathigumpha Insc., line 17 (E.I., XX, 80).
