*svās tat.* Bḍ *tat-paścāt tat.* ²⁵ In *bfgMt sutā; eVā satā.* ²⁶ *Hy* omitted in *jMt*; *bMt* †*sraṃtyai*, corrected in margin to *hy aṣṭau*; *gVā hy etc.* ²⁷ In *dBh talaś c°*; *cBh yasya c°*; *qBh tasya tvāṣṭau, gBh tasyāvā°*. *Vṣ tasyāpy astau sutāḥ.* ²⁸ In *jMt vai nṛpāḥ*; *kMt saṃsmṛtāḥ.* ²⁹ In *hklVṣ Sumāly-adyāḥ*; *abVṣ Sumāl-ā°*; *Vṣ genly Sumāty-ā°*; *fyVṣ Sumaty-ā°.* ³⁰ In *gMt*, *fmVā °yāyo*: *dVā payāye* altered to *dāyādā*; *eVā bhāryāyām.* ³¹ In *dBh pṛthivīm*; *fBh ye bhokṣyanti mahīm etām*: v.r. in *GBh mahīm bhokṣyanti ya imām.* ³² In *kMt nṛp-ottamāḥ.* ³³ *Ca* in *arsBh.* ³⁴ In *kBh taśam.* *Vṣ agrees*— Mahāpadmaḥ tat-putrāś ca ekaṃ varṣa-śatam avani-patayo bhaviṣyanti. ³⁵ So *Vā* genly: *jVā dvir aṣṭatiḥ*; *eVā driṣaṣṭibhiḥ*: *a¹Vā mahābalaḥ.* *Bḍ* agrees, but ends *dvija-ṛṣabhaḥ*, which may be the true reading (see *Bh* reading). *Mt* reads differently— uddhariṣyati Kauṭilyaḥ samair dvādaśabhiḥ sutān: where *bMt* ends *sutāḥ*; *cnMt sa tān*; *fMt sa tā*; *gMt śatam*; *jMt samāt*; *kMt kramāt.* For *dvādaśabhiḥ* read perhaps *dvija-ṛṣabhaḥ.* After this line *bfglnMt* insert the first line of the next dynasty.
