Kern's readings, fully accounted for by Vogel, are not taken into account here any longer. There are several small differences of reading between Vogel, Chhabra and Sarkar. Chhabra indicates no source for his readings, or variants from his predecessors. Sarkar (p. 5) claims to base his on the facsimile published by Vogel. Yet both seem partly to copy Vogel, because they ignore the fact that in the system of transliteration used in POD 1, roman m stands for anusvāra: only this can explain why they misread m for ṁ several times. The text constituted below is based on consultation of POD 1, plate 27 (= OD XXX?).
