1 Metre : Arya. Read 'ktair. Metre: sloka (Anushtabb), and of the next verse.
• There are so many different marks on the plate here, and some of the letters are so indistinctly formed, that I am not at all sure about the exact wording of the first half of this verse. Apparently the sense of the wbole verse is, that Govindaraja treated the needy so liberally that they had no reason to apply to other princes for support. In the text given above, I have included in square brackets every letter the reading of which appears to me doubtful. Instead of samdérital, supposing this to be the correct reading, I should have expected samdáritán.
Metre: Aryl Read jayaskandhaudr.
7 Here one would have expected punya-yai-bhiosiddhayd, which may have been engraved originallyThe following passage, up to the word dráhmanébhya) in line 54, has been greatly tampered with, for the parpose of reducing the number of grantees, which originally was seven, to four. To effect this, the original writing of lines 50, 52 and 53, and of portions of lines 51 and 54, has been beaten in; but suficient traces remain of it, to make out the general sense of what has been effaced. Besides, to judge by the forms of tbe letters, the names of the grantee and of bis place of residence, which occur in line 47, seem to have been engraved in the place of other names; and in line 54 the word chaturbhya) has been added at the beginning (where the original writing is effaced) to do duty for the word saptabhyal, which originally preceded the word urdhmadbhyas. That portion of the text which it has been sought to efface, I have included in double square bracketa, but I have not been able to restore it completely. 8 Read -Jayaditya- ().
Read putra-. 10 The two aksharas at the end of this line I am unable to make out with certainty they look like yard or hara, or may be intended for déra.
1 Here, again, I must omit three aksharas, the first and second of which look like pya (or ahya) and vya (or chyd). Apparently the word tathd is wanted bere. 13 Read ochdry-Rishi..
This name is quite clear in the engraving, but it can hardly be correct. 14 Rend ota tatha.
1 Possibly, what is engraved may be Takali-; and perhaps the word has been engraved in the place of another name
