The readings vary;¹ that of the best MS, X (Πανδόπων), is too corrupt to make anything of, and the others vary between Πανδούων, Πανδοούων² (which Renou prints), and Πανδαούων; the word is certainly Pāndava, the form last mentioned being an exact transliteration. The Latin versions give Pandanorum, Pandonorum, Pandorum, and Pandiana regio. - [Previous: c30.15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c30.15) - [Next: c31.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c31.2) - [Up: c31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c31) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c31.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tarn-1938.c31.1) · Pramāṇa
