¹ From Kielhorn’s transcript in Ep. Ind., Vol. l. pp. 197 ff.
² Kielhorn has noted that this verse is preceded by traces of about twelve aksharas and that one should expect here , or some similar phrase.
³ It is impossible to say exactly how many aksharas are effaced at the end of this and the beginning of the next line (K.).
⁴ The name missing here before nāmā may have been . Similarly, the first two aksharas in the next line may have been . The lost portion of this verse may conjecturally be restored as .

⁷ My conjectural suggestion for the aksharas missing here is and in the lacuna that follows.
⁸ Kielhorn remarked that should be here. He has also noted that the internal enemies are kāma (desire), Krōdha (wrath), lōbha (covetousness), mōha (bewilderment), mada (pride) and matsara (envy) ; and the seven constituent parts of the kingdom are : the king, his minister, capital, realm, treasury, army and ally, Cf. Manu, IX, 291.
