page 815 note 1 We might perhaps read [ēkaū]dasēna. But [chatti] dasēna is good enough.

page 816 note 1 I take the name Bes, Besnagar, as derived through such forms as Veisa, Vēsa, from Vēdissa, Vēdisa, Vaidiśa, from Vidiśā, the river now known as the Bēs, Bēsh, for which see this Journal, 1909. 1087. The statement about Aśōka, Ujjēni, and Vēdissanagara, in the Dipavamsa, 6. 15, seems to mark Vēdissanagara as a town in the territory attached to Ujjain. Bēsnagar is about 130 miles east-by-north from Ujjain.
