Here are my humble suggestions: *Kaulārcanadīpikā 43b*
Avagraha erroneously placed after, instead before, *yaṃ*: *loko yaṃ* ’ → *loko ’yaṃ* *57a* The two dots written on top of each other (visarga) were misread or accidentally misspelled (or simply give the wrong impression through blurred ink) as being an avagraha: *mokṣa’syād* → *mokṣaḥ syād* *Dakṣiṇāmūrtisaṃhitā 21a* As above (*57a*): *ṛṣi’syād* → *ṛṣiḥ syād* So apparently also *55b*. *Mudrāprakāśaḥ* *11a* Appears to indicate word separation *21a/30a* Word separation and/or exegetical function: separating the conditional clause (*yadi syād*) from the main clause. Similarly *18a*: separating the scope of *iti* from the definiendum. Regards, WS Am So., 7.
