My understanding is that in modern sanskrit translations when the translator inserts words into the translation that weren't in the sanskrit to make the meaning clearer then those words  are usually put in brackets.

Is there a convention on what type of brackets are usually used, square brackets or regular brackets?

Thanks,

Harry Spier
