The word Sajda is noted in the margin of Book Quran several times to make the reader know that he has to Prostrate  when he arrives at this aya while reciting. Nobody was able to explain as to when & by whom this was done.I dont know if you find in your copies of Quran but it is there in India.Does  anybody  has any idea ? Thanks

I think you refer to Sajda e-Tilawat which is required in about 15 or so places in the Quran according to the traditionalists. This is a non Quranic practice I think which is based on secondary sources. There is also some disagreement in the madhabs, some say 14 others 15.  Salam, Doc.
