Pushkar Shamsher J.B.R., for the Nepāl Bhāṡā Prakāśinī Samiti, Kāṭhmāṇḍu, 1954, pp. 4–6. Lines 36–41, in Newari, are omitted from this version.

^{page 167 note 3} Transliteration note. The two devanāgarā diphthongs are transliterated -əy and -əw. Where in the text characters are written with a subscribed dot, and , they are transliterated as ý and . A subscribed bar under a single consonant indicates a virām in the devanāgarī; a subscribed bar under two or more consonants indicates a conjunct character in the devanāgarī.

Punctuation note. The original has three marks of punctuation: two down strokes, reproduced by a full stop; four down strokes, reproduced by two full stops; a stroke, running diagonally downwards from left to right, and slightly below the level of the script, reproduced by a comma. The purpose intended to be served by the third mark is not always apparent, but it has in all cases been retained.

^{page 168 note 1} A personal epithet of Pratāp Malla.

^{page 168 note 2} B, niyama.

^{page 168 note 3} . the word is unexpected here. The words in the clause being without inflections are difficult to translate. The' are part of an established formula.

^{page 168 note 4} B, .

^{page 168 note 5} It is to be noted that gods are given three śrī's, royalty two, and tirthas one.

^{page 168 note 6} There is a fifth figure on the stone, but it is undecipherable. It is illegible also on B and D. A conjectural reading would be either 1 or 9.

^{page 168 note 8} panati, mod. Nep. patəwti. South of Dhulikhelin East No. 1. It is a triveṇī, being the confluence of the Līlāvatī, Rūpāvatī, and Sacī.

^{page 168 note 12} The number 63 is from B. A is not clear. Both Nepali versions read 635, which must be an error, as there is nothing on the stones to suggest the presence of a third figure. Neither is there space for one.

^{page 168 note 13} , reading from D. A and B are illegible. This tirtha, has not been located.

^{page 168 note 14} Water is taken in the right hand, and after a recitation of mantras is offered to the deity.

^{page 169 note 2} komati, B has , which is the Skt. form. A lake in PāṬan.

^{page 169 note 6} ma∫ila, not located. Lévi, III, 175, has maṇiɛilā. One suggestion places it near Gorkhā.

^{page 169 note 7} thaýavi, not located; but may be in East Nepal between Barabise and Dolakha. The reading may be thaýapi.

^{page 169 note 8} təwdaha, near Pharping. Abode of the Nāga Karkoṭak. See Lévi, index.

^{page 169 note 9} , south-east of Pharping on Bāgmatī.

^{page 169 note 11} , near Deocok. Visited by Newārs during the Indrajātrī.

^{page 169 note 12} , the name of the tirtha is , on the Bāgmatī. Lévi, III, 55, 169.

^{page 169 note 18} , may be near Deopāṭan. gola is the Newārī name for Deopāṭan. Lévi, II, 124.

^{page 169 note 19} , doubtful. It may be a sulphurous river in Dailekh; or it may be a hot spring in the Valley which Pratap Malla visited secretly, but refused to divulge later.

^{page 169 note 20} , near Muktināth.

^{page 169 note 21} , not located. One suggestion is that it is near Pokhrā.

^{page 170 note 1} Reading uncertain. May be .

^{page 170 note 2} tusāgāla, reading from D. A and B illegible.

^{page 170 note 3} -hā dha-, from B. A is not clear.

^{page 170 note 4} , the reading is reasonably sure, but the word has no known meaning. The same word occurs in a similar context in the Śivalaya inscription in Makhanṭol.

^{page 170 note 6} The vowel -e- is from B.

^{page 170 note 6} B and D have .

^{page 170 note 7} , from D. A and B are illegible.

^{page 170 note 8} . B's spelling in all four words is .

^{page 171 note 4} B has somavāra.

^{page 171 note 5} , a conjectural reading suggested by the context. The entire name in B is indecipherable, except that computation of space indicates that the name is different from that in A. The name is indecipherable in D also.

^{page 171 note 6} No translation is made of the words fri and , as they have no equivalent in English. The former is an honorific title; the latter is a place of special pilgrimage.
