The facsimile is introduced on a reduced scale into Plate I. It is in excellent preservation, and the versification, in the Srigdhara measure complete throughout. At the head of the second and third lines only there are a couple of superfluous letters introduced, in the former fu and in the latter
i which I presume should be read together as siddha, 'accomplished' - or it may be the name of the sculptor. After transcription, my pandit KAMALÁ KÁNTA readily furnished me with the interpretation of this curious monument, which I accordingly annex in modern Devanágarīand translation:

*The following errors of orthography are noted by the pandit : applying before stand in the second fourth lines. The insertion of visarga in ककुभःरति and व्याघ्रःरति भीतो for भीतः in the ninth line : the final of the tenth and eleventh lines, which sould both be नः and खात स्ततोयां in the 10th which should be खातस्थतोयां.
