[Footnote 300: See Senart in _Revue Archeologique_, 1883. As in many
inscriptions it is not always plain who is speaking but in most parts
it is apparently the minister promulgating the instructions of the
king.]

[Footnote 304: The Bodhisattva corresponding to the Buddha Akshobhya.
He is green or blue and carries a thunderbolt. It seems probable that
he is a metamorphosis of Indra.]

[Footnote 305: An exceedingly curious stanza eulogizes the doctrine of
the non-existence of the soul taught by the Buddha which leads to
identification with the universal soul although contrary to it. Vuddho
vodhim vidaddhyad vo yena nairatmyadarsanam viruddhasyapi
sadhuktam sadhanam paramatmanah.]

[Footnote 310: The inscription only says "There are here (atra)." Can
this mean in the various religious establishments maintained by the
king?]

[Footnote 311: See also Finot, _Notes d'Epig_. pp. 332-335. The
Mahavamsa repeatedly mentions that kings founded hospitals and
distributed medicines. See too, Yule, _Marco Polo_, I. p. 446. The
care of the sick was recognized as a duty and a meritorious act in all
Buddhist countries and is recommended by the example of the Buddha
himself.]

Bhaishajyaguruvaiduryaprabharaja, Suryavairocanacandaroci and
Candravairocanarohinisa. See for an account of them and the texts
on which their worship is founded the learned article of M. Pelliot,
"Le Bhaisajyaguru," _B.E.F.E.O._ 1903, p. 33.]

from the Ling Wai Tai Ta that there were two classes of bonzes in
Camboja, those who wore yellow robes and married and those who wore
red robes
