§ Two letters here are almost illegible and very doubtful. The first seems to be 'di', 'dt', 'i' or '+'', and the second some compound letter the first part of which is ". Two letters are illegible here.
We have here, and in several places further on, the old form of the Visarga called in this case Upalhmaolya, before 'p' and 'ph'. The sign is identical with the letter '', and is called by Vápadeva Gajakumbhakriti', 'that which has the shape of the two projections on the forehead of an elephant which swell in the ratting season. It is used sometimes where in classical Sanskrit is written, eg. purpo' for 'pushpa."
+ The original here is quite distinct. 'Jita', born, is written by mistake for 'yata', went to the date of the inscription is, I think, too early for this to be taken as even an early instance of writing and pronouncing 5, considered as a single letter, for 'y'.
This letter,-ya',-was at first omitted in the original and then inserted above the line.
55 The original has cliitte' in the line and 'rritta' inserted below.
We have here, and in several places below, the old form of the Visarga, called in this case Jihrámúliya, before 'k' and k. This sign is of frequent occurrence in the older anscriptions, nud is identienl in forn with the letter 'm". Dr. Burnell, though referring to it as being called by Vopa deva Vajrakriti', 'that which has the shape of a thaader-bolt', does not notice it further in his South Indian Palaography. It occurs in line 5 of Plate 20 of his book; where he reads nemot-kala-gôtra-harmma-yamkintikartte, &c, and proposes as a correction 'savikranti, pas sage of the sun from one sign of the zodine into another. The proper reading is 'ma[takj-kanti', &c. the engraver having omitted the ' sa' of 'yasuk funce.
